SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Randall Brenes and Alvaro Saborio scored two goals each and led Costa Rica's 7-0 victory over Guyana on Tuesday that confirmed the Ticos' passage into the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.

Cristian Gamboa, Cristian Bolanos and Celso Borges also had goals for Costa Rica, which advanced to the "hexagonal" round for the fifth straight time since it was introduced for the 1998 World Cup.

Costa Rica finished in second place with 10 points in Group B, eight behind Mexico and five ahead of El Salvador, which lost to Mexico 2-0 in a match played simultaneously in Torreon.

Guyana, which already had been eliminated, finished the final 40 minutes with 10 men after Walter Moore was issued a second yellow card, and the "Golden Jaguars" completed the semifinal round with one point in six games, outscored 24-5.

Brenes and Gamboa scored four minutes apart to put Costa Rica ahead 2-0 by the 14th minute, and Costa Rica added five second-half goals to complete the rout.

The goal binge was the most scoring for Costa Rica since a 7-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Suriname in September 2008.

Brenes added to the lead in the 48th and Saborio scored his first by converting a penalty in the 51st after Moore was ejected.

Bolanos added his goal in the 60th and Borges in the 71st before Saborio completed the rout in the 76th, making him Costa Rica's leading scorer with six goals in as many games.
