Costa Rica have beaten Japan at the World Cup, 3,082 after their famous victory against Italy at Brazil 2014.
Luis Suarez’s men have shocked Japan securing an unexpected 1-0 win days after their 7-0 loss against Spain earlier this week.
It is their sixth victory in the competition since Italia 90, the first one in eight years. The last time they had won a match in the competition was against Cesare Prandelli’s Italy at Brazil 2014, more than 3,000 days ago.
