Costa Rica 2-1 República Dominicana | Copa Oro 2025 | Fase de Grupos

It is day five of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup as AT&T Stadium in Arlington hosts Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. Live across the region and across the world. Such pride across the Dominican Republic after their side debuted in the Gold Cup for the first time against Mexico on Saturday night and opening whistle and we are rolling in Arlington, TX, Costa Rica, looking for six points out of six, which would almost clinch a spot in the quarterfinals. Here's Alcocer coming inside, unleashing it's deflected and then blasted wide. Manfred Ugalder and Martinez on his left from the end line tipped by the keeper and then cleared away. He knows they've got to be better, but they have a chance here. It's Martinez and Marshall cuts inside and Marshall on his left. It's on target, but novice right behind it. Under Miguel Herrera, but this is through for Romero. What a save. Second ball stabbed in. It's a good goal. Menneken dreams keep getting bigger. Joe out or bias on hand novice on the floor. The Dominican Republic on top for the first time ever at a major tournament. Or buy is crashing in at just the right time. And it's concerning times for Miguel Herrera in Costa Rica once again. They've fallen behind for a second straight game. Thumps this in back post. Mitchell was up for it, got partial contact to it, and now it's Calvo straight at the goalkeeper. Francisco caught. Aguilera in Romero rising now on the edge of the area hit with the right. Costa Rica could rally, which they certainly have the firepower to. And here's Martinez going down looking for a penalty and it is a penalty. It's the third one that Costa Rica have earned at this tournament already. Takes the responsibility. Russia's top scorer last year. Manfred Ugolde scores again. He's red hot and the Tico's find the equalizer just before the break. Crucial for them one one in Arlington. Chapala's whistle and we are midway through this midway match far side. There's space there and Reyes punched over the bar by Taylor Navas to keep this at one one. It's a corner for the Dominican. It's more shell on goal punched away by Navas. His teammates handle the rebound. Next ball for a bias. It stays in play by the touch line and he lifts it into the box for Romero gets up and heads it wide. Who might have a problem here? Martinez onto this and it's Martinez touched over brilliantly by Valdez. Looked like it was labeled for the corner. Looked like Costa Rica. It takes it on the left side edge of the area. Rosario for more shell one step. More shell blazes it over the bar. He's asking about a trip. He has to win it for a moment, but then turns it over again. And here's Ugolde Alcacer Josima Alcacer. And the Tico's turn it around in Texas and lead late. With one foot into the quarterfinals, two goals and two games for Josimar Alcacer. And Costa Rica. After a day of difficulty, may have done what they needed to do in the end. It's over. Miguel Herrera is never boring. Neither are his teams.
