Costa Rican soccer player Dennis Marshall has died in a car crash on Thursday night ( June 23, 2011) after a collision with a truck in Eastern San Jose. Defender Marshall had scored his first ever national goal just five days ago in the Gold Cup quarterfinal against Honduras, a match Costa Rica lost on penalties.

Marshall will now be buried in Limon, Costa Rica. He apparently lost control of his Mazda while driving at a high speed.
Costa Rica’s Argentine coach Ricardo La Volpe expressed shock at Marshall’s death. “He was a young man with a bright future, well loved for his easy-going nature … We’re all shocked, it’s a blow,” , was La Volpe’s reaction.
