Costa Rica celebrated qualification for next year’s World Cup finals in Brazil despite a stoppage time equaliser from Jermaine Anderson giving Jamaica a 1-1 draw in their CONCACAF qualifier.
‘Los Ticos’ were just moments away from being able to celebrate on the field in Kingston before Anderson struck for the bottom placed Reggae Boyz.
But the 2-2 draw between Honduras and Panama, played one hour later, ensured that the celebrations could begin in earnest as Costa Rica earned their fourth World Cup finals appearance after 1990, 2002 and 2006.
