The selection of El Salvador, eliminated from the fight to qualify for the Qatar World Cup, will receive on Sunday Costa Rica, who will seek to consolidate the three points to stay in the repechage zone after defeating Canada
on the above date.
The Ticos come from ending the undefeated Canada on the day 12, which added to the draw of Panama against Honduras allowed them to climb to fourth place with 19 points. This place allows them to play the playoffs to qualify for the World Cup against a representative from Oceania.
The Salvadorans will try to dampen the enthusiasm of Costa Rica and get a win in their last game at home in the qualifying rounds of Concacaf, since the last date will be played on a visit to Mexico. La Selecta, directed by ex-world champion Hugo Pérez, will not have three of its starters again, who did not travel to Jamaica in the duel that tied 1-1.
This is Alex Roldán, Enrico Dueñas and Marvin Monterroza, whose absence reduced the possibilities of control of the game and generation of attack against the Reggae Boyz. For its part, the Costa Rican team, which has added 13 from 15 possible points in his last five games, he puts his hopes of reaching another victory in the hands of Celso Borges, Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz.
Salvadorans have participated in two world cups and have not attended since Spain 1982, while Costa Rica has five participations, being the most outstanding in Brazil 1982, where he reached the quarterfinals.
