Costa Rica will go through with a win over Germany and could even earn top spot in the group if Japan and Spain draw. A draw will see Costa Rica go through only if Spain defeats Japan. A draw against Germany and a Japan win would almost certainly be the end of Costa Rica in the tournament as they would need to make up a 13-goal difference.
