Costa Rica played extremely defensive, sitting back on Serbia allowing players like Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Dusan Tadic to wreak havoc. Nemanja Matic nullified Los Ticos midfield lynchpin in Bryan Ruiz and prevented any serious damage to Serbia. 

Costa Rica

Keylor Navas - 5

Needed to make some routine saves early as Serbia dominated the first half which included getting down to his right to deny Milinkovis-Savic's overhead kick. Nothing he could do about Kolarov's free-kick as it was curling away into the top corner.

Johnny Acosta - 4

As most of Serbia's attacks came down the avenue of Francisco Calvo, Acosta wasn't peppered as much and actually did well to push Kolarov and co. down the left from threatening at the by-line. 

Giancarlo Gonzalez - 4

Should have opened the scoring for Costa Rica with a free header at the back post into the hands of Stojkovic. Some poor defending, being fended off way too much by Mitrovic as he was able to control a high ball in the box with his feet multiple times. 

Oscar Duarte - 5

Not a great match from one of 2014's sweethearts as he strided forward but lacked in the final third. Duarte seemed stressed with the defensive mindset and tactical approach to the match. 

Francisco Calvo - 5.5

Without the help of Johan Venegas defensively Calvo would have been completely overwhelmed by the Serbian front line. 

Christian Gamboa - 5.5

Plenty of push and shove from the defender who was stationed at central defence. Aleksander Mitrovic was causing plenty of problems for his back line.
