Costa Rica 1 vs Greece 1 - "Possible overtime
to settle this one with the winner facing the flying Dutchmen." As billed....
Costa Rica had it... as Ruiz struck at 52' with a beautifully placed slow rolling trickler and Ticos were seemingly in control until 65'
Then they couldn't find it... as Duarte drew a second yellow and mandatory explusion.
Then they lost it... playing with 10, Costa Rica weathered the Greek storm for 25 minutes when finally Navas was victimized for only the second time in this cup as Sokratis drove a rebound into the back of the net.
Navas provided more miracles as still in 10, Los Ticos survived the 30 minute overtime. Then Navas saved it... thwarting Gekas in the bottom of the 4th and Umana converted it... for the winner 5-3 in a penalty shootout.
