Mexico vs Costa Rica Highlights (CONCACAF)

Andres Guardado scored on a penalty kick in the final minute of stoppage time in extra time to give Mexico a 1-0 victory over Costa Rica in the second game of a CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals doubleheader Sunday night at Metlife Stadium.

Defender Roy Miller, who plays for the Union, was whistled for a questionable foul on Oribe Peralta with the game seconds from going to penalty kicks. Guardado converted the kick from the spot to send six-time champion Mexico to the semifinals.

Mexico will face Panama on Wednesday night in Atlanta.
