We said: Panama 2-0 Costa Rica (Panama advances on aggregate)

In the opening leg, Costa Rica looked like a side still getting familiar with one another, which is what they are currently dealing with. Meanwhile, the Panamanians were cohesive and sharp on the ball, and their fluid passing and strong midfielders are as good as anyone remaining at this tournament, so we are sceptical they will slip up on Monday.
