Poland's victory means they finish third in Group A with one win and two defeats - the same record as four years ago in Korea/Japan. With three defeats, Costa Rica obtained bottom place, basically this was the poorest of their FIFA World Cups.
Poland, was not a very strong team during this World Cup, they also lost its first two games in Germany, but at least the team was able to clean up honor with a win over the Central American team.
Costa Rica took a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when Ronald Gomez's low, left-footed free kick from 19 yards out got past the defensive wall and goalkeeper Artur Boruc. Gomez then gave the Ticos a chance to go up 2-0 when he skipped clear of two defenders to feed an unmarked Paulo Wanchope at the edge of the penalty area. But Boruc easily smothered Wanchope's weak right-footed shot.
Costa Rica seem to have a positive approach in the early part of the second half. Mauricio Solis took a long strike from Walter Centeno into the box. But his flick shot was easily snagged by Boruc.
