    TUESDAY, JULY 1, 2014 FAN FERVOR Costa Rica stun Greece in penalty shoot-out RECIFE: Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas claimed man-of-the match honors as his side sank Greece in a penalty shootout to reach the World Cup quarter finals for the first time and a clash with the Netherlands. Reduced to 10 men in the second half, Costa Rica still seemed to be on course for an upset vic- tory until Sokratis Papastathopoulos scored an injury-time equaliser to force extra time. Navas, who had blocked a string of shots in the game, was equally impressive in the two 15-minute periods of extra time before he pulled off a superb one-hand- ed save to deny Theofanis Gekas’s spot kick during the penalty shoot-out. Costa Rica went on to secure a 5-3 victory to keep the central Americans’ World Cup dream alive. “To everyone back home and out on the streets - this is for you,” said Costa Rica’s manager Jorge Luis Pinto. “The people love football and they deserve this. We’re ambitious, we want to grow and develop and God willing we will go on in this tournament.” Captain Bryan Ruiz scored in the 52nd minute to give the central Americans a 1-0 lead at Arena Pernambuco. But defender Oscar Duarte was ordered off for a second bookable offence shortly after and Greece poured forward looking for an equaliser. They provided the late drama when Papastathopoulos pounced on the rebound from RECIFE: Costa Rica’s goalkeeper Keylor Navas blocks a shot by Greece’s Kostas Mitroglou (right) during Gekas’s strike in the first minute of added-on time the World Cup round of 16 soccer match at the Arena Pernambuco.
