Injury time penalty helped Costa Rica to grab a 2-2 draw against Switzerland who lost their captain
Switzerland moved through to the World Cup last 16 yesterday, after a draw over Costa Rica but will be without captain Stephan Lichtsteiner because of suspension.
A 93rd minute own goal by the unfortunate keeper Yann Sommer from a Bryan Ruiz penalty gave the central American side a deserved 2-2 draw on a night of late drama in Nizhny Novgorod.
That wiped out a Swiss lead which had lasted only two minutes after substitute Josep Drmic slotted home to apparently give the Swiss an undeserved victory.
Earlier Blerim Dzemaili had thumped home in the first half to give Switzerland the lead against the run-of-play in the 31st minute against the team who finished bottom of Group E.
