    "Yes Greece took a shot but it was from a tight angle. When you are five against two you need to get an open shot within the width of the goal. But the opportunities are there for Greece because Costa Rica look out on their feet."

    We are six minutes away from penalties. Don't go to bed just yet, you've stuck it out this far, you may as well have the excitement...

    Greece's last-minute equaliser was the 145th goal of the 2014 World Cup. The 2010 World Cup featured 145 goals in total.

    Costa Rica's corner is cleared and Greece have a five-on-two counter! Like a school game, but they still mess it up.

    Kostas Mitroglou delays his pass to Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, and his shot from the angle is well saved by Keylor Navas.

    As a colleague just pointed out, it's easy to forget that this is a last-16 game in the World Cup finals.

    If you were channel hopping late at night and stumbled across it you may have guessed at an MLS match, maybe a European Under-19s pool game.

    Costa Rica win a corner...

    Excellent strength from Joel Campbell to win a free-kick. Everyone up!

    Extraordinary energy from Giancarlo Gonzalez to hook it on with an overhead kick but it comes to nothing.

    Keylor Navas

    Keylor Navas takes a blow as he sweeps up a throughball. Any excuse to kill the clock - though the Costa Ricans look such a spent force that I wonder if they'll reach the goal from 12 yards out.

    Jeff Ando:, external Watching the success of Greece, England should just make Tony Pulis manager and be done with it.

    Barry Johnson:, external This may not be the best game but these two teams have given absolutely everything.

    A Costa Rican goal really would spice this last 15 minutes up and Randall Brenes is not far away with a 20-yard speculator which drifts over the top.

    Right then, let's have a winner. Fifteen minutes, one hero required. Who wants it?

    "Some ambition from Costa Rica, but Greece are defending well too. When they do show ambition and go forward they are testing this Greece defence, but they need to show more.

    "At the moment the way Costa Rica are moving, their body language, everything about them just looks tired."

    A rare Costa Rican break! Joel Campbell with a great disguised pass into the run of Randall Brenes, he tries to pick out the arriving Celso Borges but veteran Kostas Katsouranis slides in to close it out. Great play.

    Costa Rica defender Oscar Duarte was sent off nearly 45 minutes ago - and he's still played more passes in the game than any of his team-mates.

    Optimistic Greek fans?

  19. Postpublished at 23:15 British Summer Time 29 June 2014

    A Greece free-kick causes mayhem in the penalty area, Costa Rica do well not to concede a penalty as the tackles come in and Kostas Katsouranis sees his low shot blocked. Siege doesn't do this justice now.

    "If Greece show enough ambition they can avoid it going to penalties here. They just have to make that decision.

    "Giorgos Samaras is bossing this game now, he is going wherever he needs to be to win that ball. Costa Rica need to do something about him because his influence is growing."
