Challenge

Estadio Nacional
Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. 莫坚渊 started the match with the kick off. Lautaro Puig struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. 尹夕亮 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Costa Rica. After a rather tough play, ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 郑杰挺 got a free kick in the 6th minute. Eliseo Noboa charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Eliseo Noboa the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The throw-in from Abel Carballo in the 26th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 马桑德. Eliseo Noboa received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. 尹夕亮 came out and tried to block the shot, but Eliseo Noboa slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 28th minute. 31 minutes into the game, 郑杰挺 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Costa Rica the free kick. A sloppy throw-in by Eliseo Noboa in the 33rd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 马桑德. 尹夕亮 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Axel Tasis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Axel Tasis could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 39th minute of the match, but 尹夕亮 made a huge save. The audience thought a goal was coming when Axel Tasis got free with 尹夕亮 in the 41st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 马桑德 managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Efrain Moruga in the 42 minute of the game. After 44 minutes of play Costa Rica's Eliseo Noboa was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. The supporters of ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀 booed when Costa Rica was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eliseo Noboa didn't get a good kick on the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Axel Tasis stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 尹夕亮 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Axel Tasis in the 51st minute of play. 54 minutes into the game, Alexander Carballo threw the ball into play from the sideline. ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 马桑德 quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 莫坚渊 got a good chance for a goal in the 55th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A sloppy throw-in by Abel Carballo in the 63rd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 马桑德. ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 郑杰挺 quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Hugo Ferrant, made in the 68th minute of the game. A sloppy throw-in by Hugo Ferrant in the 70th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 郑杰挺. Hugo Ferrant made in the 75th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 郑杰挺. A sloppy throw-in by Hugo Ferrant in the 77th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by ≮China≯༺࿈༻王者荣耀's 郑杰挺. In the 79th minute the ball was on its way in behind Costa Rica's goalkeeper Benito Sanz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 81st minute, Axel Tasis managed to get in a good position for a shot. Costa Rica's supporters rose to their feet, but Axel Tasis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 尹夕亮 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Efrain Moruga made in the 86th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Aaron Alcocer however managed to control. 莫坚渊 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Benito Sanz having to interfere. 雷耀星 kicked well hit freekick during the 91st minute of the match. In the 92nd minute Lautaro Puig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 尹夕亮 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 韩响思 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
