Costa Rica
Denies T&T Win
Celso Borges scored twice, including a
tiebreaking goal in the 68th minute, and
Costa Rica defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3-2
in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday night.
Carlos Edwards put Trinidad and Tobago ahead
in the 30th minute, but Alvaro Saborio tied
it in the 41st and Borges gave Costa Rica
the lead in the 52nd. Colin Samuels made it
2-2 in the 64th.
Costa Rica (4-1), which defeated the United
States 3-1 on Wednesday, leads the
six-nation finals of North and Central
America and the Caribbean with 12 points,
while Trinidad (0-2-2) is in last place with
two. The top three teams qualify for next
year's World Cup and the No. 4 team goes to
a playoff. T&T plays Wednesday at Mexico. |
