Great start in the opener for La Roja
La Roja took on Costa Rica at the Wellington Regional Stadium in Wellington. Spain ease to a comfortable victory over Costa Rica as they net three times to start the World Cup on a good note. It was a bright start for the Spaniards who are one of the favorites for the World Cup and proved that through this performance. On the other hand, Costa Rica had a match to forget as they were completely outclassed by Spain. Futbol Mundial brings you the best moments from La Roja’s comfortable victory over Spain.
Spain leave Costa Rica with a mountain to climb
Costa Rica had a match to forget against Spain as they were dominated on all areas of the pitch. As a matter of fact the scoreline could have been much worse as Spain managed to register 46 strikes with 12 of them being on target. It does not get any easier for the Costa Ricans as they still have to face of against Japan in their next World Cup game. Their match against Japan will decide if they progress further in the World Cup. Costa Rica who have never qualified for the World Cup will want to make history by doing so.
Costa Rica too easy for Spain
Spain will be disappointed that they did not get more goals as they produced a masterclass vs Costa Rica. La Roja will be full of confidence knowing that they started their World Cup campaign on a high. They will now prepare to take on Zambia who were bamboozled by Japan 5-0. With Spain winning their opening World Cup and beating Zambia they become increasingly likely to qualify for the next round. They will then face a decisive game against Japan to determine who comes in first.
