#WorldCup2014 ROUND OF 16 UPDATE FULL-TIME SCORE #CRC 1 (Ruiz 52’) #GRE 1 (Sokratis 90+1’) *Costa Rica win 5-3 on penalties A long drawn out affair as both sides struggle to overcome each other in a mostly frustrating and paltry fixture. However the game began to step up after Bryan Ruíz González scored in the 52nd minute and Greece had to chase the game. Oscar Duarte’s sending off for the Costa Ricans provided more momentum for the Greeks and they dramatically scored in the death of extra time courtesy of Sokratis. The game went on to extra-time and after two periods were played, it went down to penalties. Both sides kept a 100% record until Greece’s fourth penalty was saved by Keylor Navas, who was brilliant for Costa Rica throughout the game. Umana then scored Costa Rica’s fifth goal to ensure the Greeks could not force the shootout into sudden death to book a historic berth in the quarterfinals against the mighty Netherlands side.
