Costa Rica 0-1 Panama in CONCACAF Nations League

Panama Takes the Victory

Panama defeated Costa Rica 1-0 in a closely contested CONCACAF Nations League match on Tuesday night. The match was played at the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in San José.

The only goal of the match came in the 65th minute, when Ismael Díaz scored a penalty kick for Panama. Díaz was awarded the penalty after he was fouled by Costa Rica's Giancarlo González in the penalty area.

Missed Opportunity for Costa Rica

Costa Rica had a chance to equalize in the 80th minute, but Joel Campbell's penalty kick was saved by Panama goalkeeper Luis Mejía.

The win gives Panama three points in the CONCACAF Nations League standings, while Costa Rica remains with one point after two matches.

Díaz the Hero for Panama

Díaz's goal against Costa Rica was his first in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Costa Rica Disappointed
