GIF: Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz knocks in goal against Greece as Ticos strike first

Where was Greece’s goalie? A beautiful slow-roller by Bryan Ruiz puts Costa Rica up 1-0 at the 52nd minute.

The Ticos couldn’t hold on to the lead. Greece’s Socratis Papastathopoulos scored in the 90th minute to equalize and send the match to overtime. Costa Rica is playing with only 10 players after Óscar Duarte received his second yellow card at the 66th minute.
