Only three minutes into the match, Celso Borges of Costa Rica came out to the top of the box to receive a volley, but rather than taking the ball down, he attempted the bicycle kick and succeeded in rather stunning fashion.  It was the first of many beautiful goals Costa Rica would manufacture as they went on to win the game easily by a score of 5-1.  The only thing missing was a backdoor celebration.  I guess that’s more of a Norwegian thing.

Costa Rica will now go on to face Mexico in the semifinals.  Both team have been impressive, but they will look to do whatever it takes to slow each other down.  Even if that means getting their coaches involved.  Mexican bench-boss Javier Aguirre is no stranger to that of course.  Until then, Borges and his teammates can celebrate their victory, hopefully without the involvement of transvestite porn stars.

Here are the highlights from the game.
