Uruguay led the game 1–0 at half time, through an Edinson Cavani penalty after Diego Lugano was pulled down in the box by Júnior Díaz. Keylor Navas prevented Uruguay's lead from doubling by tipping over Diego Forlán's shot. In the second half, Joel Campbell equalised when the ball fell to him in the box after a deep cross from Cristian Gamboa. Soon afterwards, Costa Rica went into the lead when Óscar Duarte headed in a free kick from Christian Bolaños. A pass from Campbell allowed substitute Marco Ureña to make it 3–1 from a tight angle on the right, and in injury time Maxi Pereira was given a straight red card for a kick at Campbell. It was the first time Costa Rica scored three goals in a World Cup match, and also the first time Uruguay lost to a non-South American or European country in the World Cup. 484566
