Costa Rica defender Marshall dies in car smash

National team defender Dennis Marshall was one of two people killed Thursday in a two-vehicle smash in the mountains near San Jose, Costa Rica, the Red Cross reported on Thursday.

Marshall, and a female travelling with him, were killed when their car collided head on with a truck.

Marshall had recently returned to Costa Rica following the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament in the United States.

He scored a goal Saturday in a loss to Honduras. Marshall scored to make it 1-1 in regulation time before his squad lost 4-2 on penalties.

Marshall played internationally for Danish club Aalborg.
