Controversy

Costa Rica withdrew from the Games after a pitch invasion by the spectators at the end of their match against Dutch Antilles, following a brawl between players caused by a collision between Costa Rica player Calleta Molina and Dutch Antilles keeper Ergilio Hato; when the pitch was cleared, Dutch Antilles again took the field but Costa Rica refused to continue.
