Switzerland into last 16 after dramatic finish against Costa Rica
Costa Rica had a great chance to draw level three minutes into the second half only for Campbell to slice horribly wide, before Ricardo Rodriguez drove just over the Costa Rica bar.
Kendall Waston hammered home a powerful header from a corner in the 56th minute to give Costa Rica a goal their efforts fully deserved.
Costa Rica continued to look for a win to sign off from Russia, although Josip Drmic hit the bar for the Swiss with a header in the 77th minute, moments before Campbell's run set up Borges to again test the impressive Sommer.
With Brazil beating Serbia 2-0 in Moscow, the Swiss knew in the closing minutes that even with a defeat they would go into the last 16 but Drmic restored their lead on the break in the 88th minute.
Costa Rica thought they had a penalty moments afterwards, but after consulting with the VAR the referee ruled it out for offside, only to award one in injury time when Campbelll went down on the edge of the Swiss area and although Ruiz's spotkick hit the crossbar Sommer had the bad luck for it to end up in the back of the net off his back.
