05:00 AM: Hello everyone and welcome to Khel Now’s LIVE COVERAGE of the Copa America Group D match between Costa Rica vs Paraguay. The kick-off is just a few hours away! Please wait for 30 seconds for the Live blog to load.

Costa Rica and Paraguay – the bottom two teams of Group D in Copa America 2024 are all set to lock horns in their last group stage game. Costa Rica still have their dreams alive to go further in the competition, while Paraguay are already eliminated.

The Gustavo Alfaro-coached Costa Rica national football team surprised the world with their impressive performance in the first game of Copa America 2024 when they drew with the mighty Brazil. It is this performance which has kept them in the race for the quarter finals despite getting trampled by Colombia in the last game.

Paraguay on the other hand have had a below-par campaign. After narrowly losing to Colombia in the first one, they got humbled by Brazil in the second. The Daniel Garnero-led side would surely like to end their bitter campaign on a sweet note.

Players to Watch:

Alvaro Zamora (Costa Rica)

Los Ticos will have huge expectations from this talented 22-year-old winger. The Aris Saloniki player was present in both the games of Copa America 2024, but hasn’t yet found the back of the net. Zamora can easily switch his wing position from one end to another and also play as a striker.

Goal contributions in a vital match like the Paraguay one can change Costa Rica’s fortunes in the competition. He hailed a decent impact in the game against Brazil but imposed minimal threat against Colombia.

Julio Enciso (Paraguay)

The prolific Brighton attacking midfielder has already scored in the ongoing Copa America. His side would be expecting him to do some wonders when they play their last game of the tournament. He can efficiently perform the functions of a False-9 too.

Match Facts:

• Costa Rica are yet to score a goal in Copa America 2024.
• In head-to-head, both teams have won three games each.
• Both teams haven’t won a game in Copa America 2024.
