Costa Rica’s 20 year old Keysher Fuller on Sunday decoded the Hi Tech Japanese team that dimmed the German Machine when he scored the lone goal at 81st minute via Yeltsin Tejeda assist that destabilized Group E table. JapanSweet revenge as Spain beat Japan 3-1 to win World Cup
That first goal of Costa Rica at the world cup left Japan stranded like a fellow who missed his train at the London tube and was a terrible punishment for the blunders in the Japanese defence.
Football plotters had tipped Japan to win convincingly and were waiting for the final before final in the encounter between Spain and Germany coming up tonight at 8pm. It is either the fuses in the German machine function well or they will return to the vehicle city of Stuttgart for thorough review and re-presentation in 2026.
Costa Rica never defeated Japan. Japan tutored them 3-1 in 2014 after 1-1 draw in 2002 and slayed Costa Rica 3-0 in 2018 so the victory of the Costa Ricans is an upset.
Group E in the first round matches were heartwarming with the shocker 2-1 win of Japan over Germany and the highest team score of 7-0 of Costa Rica by Spain. That match later tonight is high on the bill.
Temporarily, Spain leads the table in this group with 3 points; Japan is 2nd with 3 points too but zero goals difference; Costa Rica is 3rd but with a whopping -6 goals difference and Germany is there at the bottom with no point and -1 goals difference.
At 8pm West African Time on Thursday 1st December Costa Rica will play Germany and another star match in Japan versus Spain both at 8pm.
