Costa Rica ended their 2024 Copa América campaign on a high note with a 2-1 victory over Paraguay, despite not advancing to the quarter-finals due to Brazil's 1-1 draw with Colombia. The Ticos displayed determination from the start, quickly securing a lead with goals from Francisco Calvo and Josimar Alcócer within the first ten minutes. Paraguay, already eliminated, struggled to respond but managed to score through Ramon Sosa in the second half. Costa Rica's goalkeeper, Patrick Sequeira, played a crucial role in preserving the win. While Costa Rica finished with four points, Paraguay faced a disappointing exit from the tournament without a single win.
