Costa Rica became the last team to qualify for this year's World Cup as Joel Campbell's early goal gave the Central Americans a nervy 1-0 win over New Zealand in a play-off on Tuesday.

Costa Rica will face Germany, Spain and Japan in a tough Group E at the tournament which starts in Qatar in November.
