| Originally from the Dominican Republic, Victor 'El Mambo' Nunez received his Costa Rican passport in early 2006, and was swiftly drafted into the national squad for the friendly with the Korea Republic on 10 February. On a debut to remember, it was Nunez who won the penalty that led to Costa Rica’s winning goal. A quick and skilful frontman with a mean eye for goal, he led the domestic goalscoring charts in 2000/01 and has consistently been among the top marksmen in the Costa Rican league. Ice-cool in his finishing and gifted on the ball, Nunez can also play off a target man as the second striker.
