Costa Rica showed its effectiveness with a goal scored by Marco Urena, and its solidity in the interventions of Keylor Navas, leading it to defeat Scotland 1-0 in an international friendly here. A combination by left-back Bryan Oviedo and Marco Ureña ended with the latter sending the ball to the net and handing victory to the 'Ticos' in the friendly played at the Hampden Park Stadium here on Friday, reports EFE news agency. McLeish's Scotland, who replaced Gordon Strachan on the bench, could not get off to a good start and was overtaken by a Costa Rica that took better advantage of its situation with fast counterattacks, among its main strengths.
