Final Scoreline for Match 52 (Round of 16 #4):


COSTA RICA - 1 (5)
(Ruiz 52')


GREECE - 1 (3)
(Papastathopoulos 91')


Well, the first half had ended 0-0 and that was when I went to bed, so all the action happened in the 2nd half.

As is evident, Costa Rica went ahead in the 52nd minute, and hung on to that lead till full time was almost over to guarantee them the win, until Greece got the equaliser 1 minute into added time. The extra time didn't yield further goals which meant it was to be decided by penalty shootout. Costa Rica fired all their 5 shots into goal, and when Greece missed one, Costa Rica were through.

They now go ahead to face the Netherlands.
