Costa Rica are the third semi finalists at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, following a comfortable 4-1 win over Guadeloupe in the quarter finals.

A great overhead kick from Celso Borges put Costa Rica in the lead after just three minutes and Alvaro Saborio made it 2-0 in minute 16.

And things got worse for Guadeloupe as Andy Herron scored for 3-0 in the 47th minute.

Alphonse got one back for the Caribbeans on 64 minutes but Saborio’s second after a long ball from Borges restored the gap seven minutes later. Herrera made it 5-1 with just one minute to go.

In the semi finals, Costa Rica face the winner of the match between Mexico and Haiti.
