Nicaraguan soccer officials claim that Costa Rican police attempted to detain player Byron Bonilla over a child support dispute before a World Cup qualifier.
Tensions rose at the National Stadium in Costa Rica when police officers entered the Nicaraguan team's locker room moments before the match, allegedly targeting Bonilla.
The Nicaraguan Football Federation claims the move threw the squad off balance, contributing to their 4-1 loss.
