Saprissa vs Heredia Futbol Game

In my last few days in Costa Rica this Spring, I asked Tito Flores to take me to a local soccer game.

We got to go see a Heredia vs. Saprissa Game.

Saprissa is sort of like the New York Yankees of Costa Rica. They are the team who sells the most jerseys. Has the most fans and the largest stadium, which is unfortunate because their jerseys are purple with a dragon. I chose to root for their opponent: Heredia.

We saw them play at Heredia. who has the smallest stadium, but a World Cup Costa Rica Team star. At the beginning of the game, Heredia was in second place to Saprissa.

There were a couple of major scuffles and in the end a penalty kick put Heredia on top to move into first place in the division.

I had so much fun. I would definitely do it again... Do you want to come next time?
