COSTA RICA BEAT Italy 1-0 in their Group D clash after Bryan Ruiz headed home just before half-time and goalline technology ruled in his favour. The result means Roy Hodgson’s England are eliminated from the tournament.
Mario Balotelli should have put the Italians 1-0 up after 30 minutes but spooned his effort left of the target with just the goalkeeper to beat.
