Serbia had managed to control the match for much of the opening hour of play, but didn’t have a goal to show for it.
That was, at least, until Aleksandar Kolarov had his say in the matter.
The AS Roma man gave Serbia a 1-0 lead in the 57th minute after a stunning free kick that gave Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas no chance as he sprawled to his left.
