The win sent Costa Rica into the second round for the first time since 1990 and meant Group D rivals England were knocked out. Italy still has a lot to do. They should get at least a draw in their last game against Uruguay.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said it would take a much better performance from the Azzurri to equalize against Uruguay on June 24.

Costa Rica is considered the underdog in the rankings in a group that includes three former world champions. Contrary to expectations, the Costa Rican team started by beating Uruguay in the first game and then showed that it was no fluke by beating Italy in the second.
