Serbia defeats Costa Rica 1-0 (Group E)



Costa Rica and Serbia are facing a tough group with Brazil and Switzerland. Anything less than a win almost guarantees they will not advance out of the group.

Keylor Navas, the Costa Rican keeper, had been stellar from the start. It took until the second half, but Serbia finally figured out how to get the ball past him when Aleksandar Kolarov lined up and sailed a free kick in the upper corner in the 56th minute.

Costa Rica never let up, at times playing scrappy and almost desperate, accumulating a few yellow cards and a late foul that could have led to a red card. In the end, Kolarov's lone goal of the match was all that was needed. Three points to Serbia.

Brazil vs. Switzerland (Group E)



Brazil is one of the favorites to win it all this year. They have Neymar back, but will be missing defender Dani Alves due to an ACL injury. Switzerland will need to come up with some goals and be strong in the back to have a chance.
