With a 1-0 win over Italy, Costa Rica secured a berth into the round of 16 and mathematically ended England’s World Cup dream. Bryan Ruiz’s header was the difference maker as “Los Ticos” became the first team from Group D to advance. England was eliminated and Italy plays Uruguay, winner advances (in the case of a tie Italy advances).
