The Costa Rica fairytale has continued at the World Cup as Los Ticos beat Italy 1 - 0 to reach the last-16.

The Central American side, who had beaten Uruguay in their opener, put themselves on course to win the group after Bryan Ruiz headed a deserved opening goal just before half-time.

That goal came just minutes after the referee had denied Costa Rica a clear-cut penalty after Joel Campbell was brought down inside the box.

The result meant England would no longer be able to reach the knock-out stages.
