Two Salvadorian players (Alexander Escobar and Eliseo Quintanilla) received red cards. Four other players (Deris Umanzor, Salvador Coreas, Rodolfo Zelaya and goalkeeper Juan José Gómez were injured and had to leave the game after El Salvador had already exhausted their three substitutions. The match originally ended 1–0 to Costa Rica.[5]
