Celso Borges achieves a fundamental victory against Japan in the World Cup
//
Celso Borges, represented by Promoesport, achieved an important victory with CostaRica against Japan (1-0) in the World Cup in Qatar.
Borges, who started again, stuck out his chest to command the CostaRican team in a life or death match. Japan were in great form after beating Germany 2-1 and a loss would have knocked CostaRica out, but the Ticos scored a late goal to clinch the win. In addition, Borges continued to increase his personal record for the player with the most games played for CostaRica (151).
Thanks to this victory, CostaRica is third in the group, tied on points with Japan. A victory against the almighty Germany would certify the pass to the round of 16 for the Ticos.
