Costa Rica Beat Greece on Penalties To Reach World Cup Quarterfinals
By Ty Duffy
Costa Rica held on through an extra time period with 10 men and beat Greece 5-3 on penalties. The Ticos advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in their history. A bit fortunate for the Costa Ricans, but Greece had to do more with a man advantage for more than an hour. A characteristic lack of invention did them in.
