A 56th minute strike from Aleksandr Kolarov was enough to earn Serbia a slim win over Costa Rica. The encounter which was equally matched saw both teams having an equal share of boal possession.
Both teams had 10 attempts at goal, with Serbia having 3 on-target, 5 off-target and 2 blocked while Costa Rica also had 3 on-target, 3 off-target and 4 blocked.
Costa Rica will now take on Brazil on the 22nd while Serbia will take on Switzerland later the same day.
