Uruguay led the game 1–0 at half time, through an Edinson Cavani penalty after Diego Lugano was pulled down in the box by Júnior Díaz. Keylor Navas prevented Uruguay's lead from doubling by tipping over Diego Forlán's shot. In the second half, Joel Campbell equalised with a low shot to the right corner when the ball fell to him in the box after a deep cross from Cristian Gamboa on the right. Soon afterwards, Costa Rica went into the lead when Óscar Duarte scored with a low diving header to the right corner after a free kick from Christian Bolaños.{{cite web|url = https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/14/uruguay-costa-rica-world-cup-group-d-match-report|title=Costa Rica's Marco Ureña completes fairytale of shock win over Uruguay|date= 14 June 2014 |work=Guardian|access-date=30 October 2014}}

The two teams had met in 24 previous matches, including in the 1990 FIFA World Cup third place match, won by Italy 2–1.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/51/97/38/2014fwc_kit_matches_neutral.pdf#page=14 |title=2014 FIFA World Cup – Statistical Kit |publisher=FIFA.com |page=14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140629232249/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/51/97/38/2014fwc_kit_matches_neutral.pdf |archive-date=29 June 2014 }} Their most recent competitive meeting was in the UEFA Euro 2012 quarter-finals, won by Italy on penalties after a scoreless draw.

Italy went ahead first, when from a short corner, Andrea Pirlo dummied Marco Verratti's pass, and Claudio Marchisio scored with a low right footed shot from outside the penalty box.{{cite web|url = https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/15/england-italy-world-cup-2014-group-d-match-report|title= Italy's Mario Balotelli leaves England's Group D hopes in the balance|date= 15 June 2014 |work=Guardian|access-date=30 October 2014}}

England quickly equalised through a close-range Daniel Sturridge goal from a Wayne Rooney cross from the left. The scores were level at 1–1 at half time, but Mario Balotelli headed Italy's winner from close range five minutes after play resumed from a cross by Antonio Candreva on the right.{{Cite news |first=Phil |last=McNulty |title=England 1-2 Italy |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25285071 |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=15 June 2014 |access-date=15 June 2014 }}

The England physiotherapist Gary Lewin was stretchered off with a dislocated ankle suffered in the celebrations for England's goal, which ruled him out for the rest of the World Cup. With Italy losing both of their remaining matches against Costa Rica and Uruguay, being eliminated from the group stage again (and also going out in the group stage in 2010 with two draws and one defeat), then failing to qualify for 2018 and 2022, this would be their only World Cup victory since winning 2006 for 20 years (and the last time they scored in a World Cup match for 12 years){{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27854657|title=World Cup 2014: England physio Gary Lewin out of World Cup|work=BBC Sport|date=15 June 2014}}

England equalised in the second half, when Wayne Rooney scored his first World Cup goal with a tap-in from a cross by Glen Johnson from the right. Suárez later secured Uruguay's victory, receiving the ball from goalkeeper Fernando Muslera's clearance which flicked off Steven Gerrard, and shot home his second goal of the match powerfully with his right foot.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25285176|title=Uruguay 2 England 1|work=BBC Sport|date=19 June 2014}}

The two teams had met in one previous match, in a friendly in 1994.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/51/97/38/2014fwc_kit_matches_neutral.pdf#page=31 |title=2014 FIFA World Cup – Statistical Kit |publisher=FIFA.com |page=31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140629232249/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/51/97/38/2014fwc_kit_matches_neutral.pdf |archive-date=29 June 2014 }}

Mario Balotelli had Italy's best chance in the first half, lobbing the ball wide from inside the penalty area. Late in the first half, Joel Campbell had a clear penalty appeal denied, but Costa Rica nevertheless took the lead within a minute, as Júnior Díaz crossed from the left for Bryan Ruiz to head the ball onto the crossbar and over the line from close range.{{cite web|url = https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/20/italy-costa-rica-world-cup-group-d-england|title=Bryan Ruiz drives Costa Rica past Italy – and England out of tournament|date= 20 June 2014 |work=Guardian|access-date=30 October 2014}}

Costa Rica was able to hold on for the win in the second half, ensuring their qualification for the knockout stage, their first since 1990, while simultaneously ensuring England's group stage exit, their first since 1958.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25285190|title=Italy 0 Costa Rica 1|work=BBC Sport|date=20 June 2014}}

Costa Rica became the second country to beat two World Cup champions in the group stage of one tournament, the other being Denmark, who had done it twice in 1986 (Uruguay and West Germany) and 2002 (Uruguay and France). Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon appeared in his fourth World Cup (he was also in the squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, but did not appear in any match), the fifth Italian player to do so.{{cite web|url=http://www.thenational.ae/sport/world-cup-2014/stellar-keylor-navas-shows-why-gianluigi-buffon-should-step-aside|title=Stellar Keylor Navas shows why Gianluigi Buffon should step aside|publisher=The National|date=21 June 2014}}

Coincidentally, Costa Rica's qualification to the Round of 16 occurred exactly twenty-four years after their victory against Sweden at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, which also sealed their first-ever qualification to the Round of 16. Because of this, La Nación's Rodrigo Calvo called 20 June "a blessed date" for the Costa Rican team.{{cite news |last1=Calvo |first1=Rodrigo |title=El día 20 de junio es bendito para la Selección de Costa Rica |url=https://www.nacion.com/puro-deporte/torneos/el-dia-20-de-junio-es-bendito-para-la-seleccion-de-costa-rica/VVGL2SXQ4RHCBPJCCTUMNNPSUU/story/ |access-date=24 October 2021 |work=La Nación |date=21 June 2014 |language=es}}

The two teams had met in eight previous matches, including twice in the FIFA World Cup (1970, group stage: Italy 0–0 Uruguay; 1990, round of 16: Italy 2–0 Uruguay). Their most recent meeting was in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup third place match, won by Italy 3–2 on penalties (2–2 draw after extra time).{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/51/97/38/2014fwc_kit_matches_neutral.pdf#page=43 |title=2014 FIFA World Cup – Statistical Kit |publisher=FIFA.com |page=43 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140629232249/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/51/97/38/2014fwc_kit_matches_neutral.pdf |archive-date=29 June 2014 }}

After a goalless first half, Italy were reduced to 10 men in the second half when Claudio Marchisio was sent off for a studs-up challenge on Egidio Arévalo.

Around the 79th minute, Uruguay forward Luis Suárez bit the left shoulder of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. Chiellini showed the bite marks to Mexican referee Marco Rodríguez, who missed the incident. As the Italian players protested to the referee for not penalising Suárez, Uruguay won a corner which Gastón Ramírez delivered from the right. Diego Godín rose to head the ball, with the only goal of the game going in off his back.{{cite web|url = https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/24/italy-uruguay-world-cup-2014-group-d-match-report|title= Uruguay knock Italy out of World Cup amid Luis Suárez controversy|date= 24 June 2014 |work=Guardian|access-date=30 October 2014}} In the 84th minute, a member of the Italian coaching staff was dismissed from the bench by the referee after an altercation with his Uruguayan counterparts.{{cite web |title=FT: Italy 0 Uruguay 1 |url=http://www.kickoffnigeria.com/worldcup2014/news/45962/italy-vs-uruguay-2014-world-cup |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715003307/http://www.kickoffnigeria.com/worldcup2014/news/45962/italy-vs-uruguay-2014-world-cup |archive-date=15 July 2014 |access-date=25 June 2014 |website=Kickoffnigeria.com |publisher=Kick Off 2014 |df=dmy-all}} Uruguay's win qualified them for the knockout stage as the group runners-up, and eliminated Italy from the tournament; this marked the second consecutive time that Italy had been eliminated at the group stage.{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/25/sports/worldcup/apparent-bite-by-luis-suarez-mars-uruguays-victory-over-italy.html | title=Apparent Bite by Luis Suárez Mars Uruguay's Victory Over Italy | work=The New York Times | date=24 June 2014 | access-date=24 June 2014 | last=Borden|first=Sam | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701140836/http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/25/sports/worldcup/apparent-bite-by-luis-suarez-mars-uruguays-victory-over-italy.html | archive-date=1 July 2014}}{{cite web |title=Suarez claims 'these things happen' in biting row |url=http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/318665.html |publisher=ESPN |access-date=27 June 2014 |archive-date=25 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140625062825/http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/318665.html |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |last=Ogden |first=Mark |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25285368 |title=Italy 0 Uruguay 1 | work=BBC Sport |date=24 June 2014 |access-date=25 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140705095346/http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25285368 |archive-date=5 July 2014}}

After the biting incident, Suárez claimed that he "had contact with [Chiellini's] shoulder, nothing more" and that "these things happen".

On the same day of the match, FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Suárez regarding the biting incident.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2014/m=6/news=disciplinary-proceedings-opened-against-luis-suarez-2384766.html |title=Disciplinary proceedings opened against Luis Suarez |publisher=FIFA.com |date=25 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140625142449/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y%3D2014/m%3D6/news%3Ddisciplinary-proceedings-opened-against-luis-suarez-2384766.html |archive-date=25 June 2014 |url-status=dead }} During the proceedings, FIFA confirmed that Suárez's previous two bans due to biting incidents (seven games for biting Otman Bakkal while playing for Ajax and 10 games for biting Branislav Ivanović while playing for Liverpool) would be taken into account.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/319027.html|title=Suarez's record could return to bite him|publisher=ESPN UK|date=26 June 2014|access-date=3 July 2014|archive-date=23 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141023104949/http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/319027.html|url-status=dead}} Two days after the match, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee banned Suárez for nine international matches, effective immediately, meaning he would take no further part in the World Cup. It was the longest such ban in World Cup history, exceeding the eight-match ban handed to Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking the nose of Spain's Luis Enrique at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.{{cite news |last=De Menezes |first=Jack |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/worldcup/luis-suarez-banned-fifa-hand-striker-record-ninegame-ban-and-a-four-month-football-ban-for-biting-giorgio-chiellini-in-biggest-ever-world-cup-suspension-9565686.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/worldcup/luis-suarez-banned-fifa-hand-striker-record-ninegame-ban-and-a-four-month-football-ban-for-biting-giorgio-chiellini-in-biggest-ever-world-cup-suspension-9565686.html |archive-date=1 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |title=Luis Suarez banned: Fifa hand striker record nine-game ban AND a four month football ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini in biggest ever World Cup suspension |date=26 June 2014 |access-date=26 June 2014 |newspaper=The Independent}}{{cbignore}}{{cite news|title=Luis Suárez banned for four months for biting in World Cup game|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/26/world-cup-luis-suarez-ban-biting-uruguay|access-date=26 June 2014|newspaper=The Guardian|date=26 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706152415/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/26/world-cup-luis-suarez-ban-biting-uruguay|archive-date=6 July 2014}}{{cite news|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/2014-world-cup-fifa-bans-suarez-games-months/story?id=24314667|title=FIFA Suspends and Fines Suarez for 9 Games and 4 Months After Biting Player|work=ABC News|date=26 June 2014}} He was also banned from taking part in any football-related activity (including entering any stadium) for four months and fined CHF100,000 (approx. £65,700/€82,000/US$119,000).{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2014/m=6/news=luis-suarez-suspended-for-nine-matches-and-banned-for-four-months-from-2386354.html |title=Luis Suárez suspended for nine matches and banned for four months from any football-related activity |publisher=FIFA |date=26 June 2014 |access-date=30 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703172739/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y%3D2014/m%3D6/news%3Dluis-suarez-suspended-for-nine-matches-and-banned-for-four-months-from-2386354.html |archive-date=3 July 2014 |url-status=dead }} The verdict would not prevent Suárez from transferring to another club.{{cite web |url=http://www.itv.com/worldcup/liverpool-keep-counsel-over-suarez-ban-reaction |title=Liverpool keep counsel over Suarez ban reaction |work=ITV News |date=26 June 2014 |access-date=26 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140626233554/http://www.itv.com/worldcup/liverpool-keep-counsel-over-suarez-ban-reaction |archive-date=26 June 2014}} Suárez later admitted that he had bitten Chiellini and formally apologised, while writing that the "physical result of a bite" occurred in a collision with Chiellini.{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/luis16suarez/status/483659463417548800 |title=Suárez's official apology |publisher=Twitter |first=Luis |last=Suárez |author-link=Luis Suárez |date=30 June 2014 |access-date=30 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701015706/https://twitter.com/luis16suarez/status/483659463417548800 |archive-date=1 July 2014 }}{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/30/luis-suarez-apologises-giorgio-chiellini-bite |title=Luis Suárez apologises to Giorgio Chiellini for World Cup bite |newspaper=The Guardian |last=Lucas |first=Dan |date=30 June 2014 |access-date=30 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140707180448/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/30/luis-suarez-apologises-giorgio-chiellini-bite |archive-date=7 July 2014}} On 3 July, the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) appealed against the decision to FIFA,{{cite news |url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/9370577/world-cup-uruguay-launch-suarez-appeal |title=World Cup: FIFA confirm Uruguay have appealed against Luis Suarez's biting ban |publisher=Sky Sports |date=3 July 2014 |access-date=3 July 2014}}{{cite news|url=http://www.courant.com/sports/world-cup/hc-luis-suarez-suspended-0627-20140626,0,2075182.story |title=Luis Suarez's Bite Results In Nine-Match Ban;

As England could no longer advance to the knockout stage, their manager Roy Hodgson made nine changes to the starting line-up with Frank Lampard captaining the side. The match finished goalless, and the draw was enough to confirm Costa Rica, which had already sealed their place in the knockout stage, as the group winners with seven points after three matches.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25285354|title=Costa Rica 0 England 0|work=BBC Sport|date=24 June 2014}}
