Costa Rica pulled off a dramatic comeback in the CONCACAF Nations League over Martinique with two late goals, earning them a 2-1 victory in Group B. Despite trailing for much of the game, the Ticos managed to level the score in the 88th minute thanks to a goal from Aaron Suarez, before Anthony Contreras sealed the win in stoppage time. This result means Costa Rica only need a win against Panama in their final game to secure a spot in the CNL finals. The victory also secured their qualification for the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup. Martinique, meanwhile, has confirmed their spot in the Gold Cup Prelims.

Costa Rica went into the game against Martinique knowing that a defeat would knock them out of the CNL Finals. However, their determination to win was evident as they searched for a goal throughout the match. Despite conceding an 18th-minute goal from Mickael Biron, they didn't give up and continued to push forward even when Martinique was reduced to 10 men after Biron's red card. The Ticos will now hope to replicate their winning performance in their crucial game against Panama for a spot in the CNL finals.
