Bryan Oviedo - 6

Bryan Ruiz' efficiency and good positioning allowed Oviedo to jockey and force players inside. 

Johan Venegas - 6.5

Venegas struggled on the left hand side against Costa Rica and switched wings against Brazil. While Costa Rica sat back, his defensive work was top notch. 

David Guzman - 7

Started positively, in contrast to his match against Serbia, putting early pressure on Miranda. Played some fine passing football against of one of world football's most respected sides. 

Celso Borges - 6

Sprung Brazil on the counter-attack as Gamboa raced past Marcelo and pulled back inside the box but Borges disappointingly shot off target.

Bryan Ruiz - 6.5

Tested early as Costa Rica cleared to his left flank but gave away possession, allowing Coutinho to pounce and have Brazil's first dangerous shot. 

Marco Urena - 5

Substituted after 53 minutes after failing to turn the attacking tide of the match. Costa Rica were forced to play direct but he was marked by both Thiago Silva nad Miranda.
