Keylor Navas prays before the second half. A great save by Costa Rica's goalkeeper kept out Hal Robson-Kanu's shot. Wales went close on a number of other occasions including when Steve Morison hit the bar with a header and when Robert Earnshaw had a goal disallowed for offside. However they were unable to pull a goal back and the impressive visitors held on for a 1-0 win Photograph: Phil Noble/Reuters
