Costa Rice comeback stuns Uruguay



By Ben Smith
BBC Sport at Estadio Castelao, Fortaleza

Story of the match

1. Cavani penalty puts Uruguay ahead
2. Navas pulls off acrobatic save from Forlan
3. Two goals in three minutes puts Ticos in front
4. Pereira red-carded for late challenge

Costa Rica produced a breathtaking second-half revival at Estadio Castelao to beat Uruguay for the first time in their history in their Group D opener.
The victory was inspired by Arsenal striker Joel Campbell, who scored one and made another in the first match in England's group.
It was a far cry from a first half in which Edinson Cavani put a comfortable Uruguay ahead from the penalty spot.

Costa Rica scored twice in three minutes through Campbell and defender Oscar Duarte to spark scenes of jubilation in Fortaleza.
But they were not finished there as substitute Marcos Urena raced onto Campbell's through ball and clipped his shot beyond Fernando Muslera.
To make matters worse, Uruguay had Maximiliano Pereira sent off in injury time for a spiteful challenge on Campbell.
He will now be suspended for Thursday's game against England.
This was Costa Rica's first World Cup victory since 2002, and only their fourth in the tournament's history,
against a Uruguay side missing the injured Luis Suarez.
The result means Costa Rica move to the top of Group D with England and Italy still to play, while Uruguay face an uphill battle to qualify for the last 16.
Uruguay looked in control for the opening 50 minutes. Cavani wasted a good early chance after Costa Rica failed to clear a Diego Forlan free-kick,
with the Paris St-Germain striker slicing high and wide with the goal at his mercy.
He soon made up for that miss.



Costa Rica defender Yeltsin Tejeda conceded a needless free-kick wide on the Uruguay left and
when Forlan curled the set-piece into the area, Junior Diaz tried to stop Diego Lugano by wrapping his arms around his waist.
The referee pointed to the penalty spot and Cavani did the rest, steering a piercing low shot beyond Keylor Navas's dive and into the bottom corner.
The goal settled nerves. Uruguay's passing improved, as did their movement. Forlan, the player of the tournament in 2010,
might have made it 2-0 before half-time when his shot struck Duarte's leg, deflecting it high into the air and requiring Navas to pull off an acrobatic save.
Costa Rica, though, were about to turn the game on its head with Campbell - who is yet to make his Arsenal debut despite signing for the club in 2011 - to the fore.
The striker, who spent last season on loan at Olympiakos, first arrowed a shot narrowly wide from 30 yards,
while Giancarlo Gonzales might have scored twice, missing a difficult headed chance and seeing a scrambled toe-poke deflected into the side-netting.
But in the space of three minutes, the game changed beyond recognition.
First, Cristian Gamboa chased a seemingly lost cause wide on the right flank, reaching the ball on the byeline.
He delivered a cross which flicked off the head of Celso Borges and fell to Campbell, who controlled and fired beyond Muslera.
Two minutes later, they swept forward again and Walter Gargano conceded a free-kick for a crude tackle on Bryan Ruiz. Christian Bolanos's delivery was pin-point, Duarte's low header was brave, the finish sublime.
And there was more drama to come.
With time running out, Costa Rica broke forward again and Urena raced away from Godin and captain Lugano,
making perfect contact with his right boot, lifting the ball over Muslera to seal victory for Los Ticos.

England lost World Cup Opener



Story of the match:

• Marchisio opens scoring for Italy
• Sturridge equalises less than two minutes later
• England physio injured during goal celebration
• Balotelli's header restores Italy's lead
• Rooney spurns good chance to equalise

England's World Cup campaign opened with defeat against Italy in the steamy heat of the Arena Amazonia in Manaus.
Mario Balotelli's header just after the break settled an entertaining game after Daniel Sturridge had equalised Claudio Marchisio's fine strike.
England were undone by defensive vulnerability in a display that deserved a draw and contained plenty that would have pleased manager Roy Hodgson.
The bottom line, however, is that England now face a scrap for survival against Uruguay -
and probably Luis Suarez - in Sao Paulo after Oscar Tabarez's men lost to Costa Rica.

England's players tired visibly towards the end of a game played in the tropical climate of Brazil's Amazonian rainforest,
and Hodgson must hope not too much energy has been drained from his players.
There was also a blow for England's backroom staff as physiotherapist Gary Lewin was taken off on a stretcher after being injured celebrating Sturridge's goal.
Liverpool's Raheem Sterling made a stand-out contribution after he was selected to start,
and England looked a constant threat going forward until they ran out of steam in a humid and oppressive atmosphere.
Italy still produced moments of quality and struck the woodwork through Antonio Candreva and a late free-kick from Andrea Pirlo,
who defied his 35 years and the environment to stroll through the game with his trademark quality.
England now fly back to Rio to recover knowing they will threaten any side in their group, but further repeats of defensive frailties could be fatal for their World Cup ambitions.



Hodgson's decision to play Sterling ahead of Adam Lallana was a bold one - and the Liverpool youngster more than repaid the faith shown in him.
He illustrated exactly why Hodgson had chosen him in the opening moments with pace and a shot that flew inches wide
with Italy keeper Salvatore Sirigu, deputising for the injured Gianluigi Buffon, beaten.
Sirigu then saved from Jordan Henderson but Italy, with Pirlo inevitably the orchestrator, were causing problems of their own as the left-sided link of Leighton Baines and Rooney looked very much like a work in progress.
England were a real threat, albeit this was coupled with flaws at the back,
and it took a crucial touch from Italy defender Andrea Barzagli to divert Danny Welbeck's cross away with Sturridge waiting to apply the finishing touch.
The heat of Manaus was making no difference to Pirlo's languid style, and he was instrumental - without touching the ball - as Italy took the lead on 35 minutes.
Pirlo deceived Sturridge with a clever dummy following a corner, setting up Marchisio to drill a low shot from 25 yards through a crowded penalty box and past a blameless Joe Hart.

England needed a swift response, and delivered it almost instantly. Sterling's pass cut through the right-hand side of Italy's defence and Rooney offered up the perfect invitation for Sturridge to steer in his cross at the far post.
In the goal celebrations, physio Lewin injured an ankle and was taken off on a stretcher.
Italy ended the half on top as Phil Jagielka headed off the line from Balotelli and Candreva struck the post from a tight angle.
Hodgson addressed the problems on England's left flank by switching Welbeck from the right to start the second half -
but this was once again the source of problems as Italy regained the lead five minutes after the break.
Baines could not prevent Candreva getting in a cross, and Balotelli escaped from Gary Cahill to score with a simple header at the far post.

Hodgson introduced Everton youngster Ross Barkley just after the hour as England continued to create opportunities.
Rooney pulled a shot wide at the near post after he was played in by Baines, while Barkley ended a weaving run into the area with a shot that was pushed away by the diving Sirigu.
Sirigu also did well to stop a Baines free-kick as conditions finally started to take their toll and players on both sides visibly tired.
Pirlo, predictably, almost had the final say with a magnificent swerving free-kick that rebounded off the bar with Hart motionless.

D組形勢混亂

巴神奠勝 意大利力挫英格蘭

世盃D組賽事，意大利與英格蘭的大戰中，巴洛迪利又一次成為焦點人物，這位前英超曼城球星，下半場頂入奠勝一球，使意國最終以2:1勝出，全取3分。表現不俗的英格蘭雖然於35分鐘，被意軍中場馬治斯奧遠射得手，但前鋒史杜列治2分鐘後迅速為三獅軍團扳平。不過，巴洛迪利下半場初段接應簡達華右路傳中，伏兵遠柱頂入，使意大利最終取勝，與哥斯達黎加在此組均旗開得勝。至於英格蘭下一場將要對烏拉圭，可說是兩隊的生死戰。

J.Campbell上位了
