Fulham fans the world over are wondering who this footballer is and what he's done with Bryan Ruiz. He popped up again to give Costa Rica a 1-0 lead.

Costa Rica were then reduced to 10 men after Oscar Duarte was sent off for two bookings.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos struck in the 91st minute to break Costa Rican hearts and take the game to extra time.

It petered out to penalties and, after the first seven efforts were tucked away, it was Greece's Theofanis Gekas who was the first to miss.

That left Míchael Umaña with the chance to send Costa Rica into the quarter finals.
