Good evening and welcome to live coverage of the last 16 showdown between Greece and Costa Rica in Recife. Kick off 9pm BST.

Samaris tries his luck from 35 yards and he really shouldn't have! It bobbles well wide and goes for a throw.

It's not been the best half of football at this summer's World Cup. We really need a goal to get this going.

Karagounis over it...He curls it to the edge of the six-yard box but it's too tempting for Navas and he comes and claims.

Duarte booked. Free kick to Greece in a great position about 25 yards out to the far left of the area.

The Greek capital would have exploded if that Salpingidis chance had gone in.

That was the standout moment of the half so far. Wonderful save.

The resulting corner is fired into the mix but Navas is deemed to have been fouled and Costa Rica survive.

STUNNING SAVE! A wonderful ball from the left is met by Salpingidis at the far post, but Navas somehow keeps it out.

Bolanos arcs the free kick into the area but it's simple enough for a well-drilled Greek defence.

Samaris booked for a late tackle on Campbell.

Another long ball, this time by Gamboa, is aimed towards Campbell - but Manolas gets his body in the way and the Arsenal man can't sneak through.

Gonzalez angles a raking ball from left to right but he doesn't give Ruiz a hope of getting to it. It's gone very scrappy after a bright-ish opening.

This graphic sums it up.

A long ball over the top towards Samaras is overhit and floats out of play. This game needs an injection of something to get it going. A goal would do nicely!

Gamboa loves to get forward and wins another corner for Costa Rica on the right. Campbell fires it in but Karnezis claims with relative ease.

Holebas floats a dangerous ball towards Samaras who is caught offside. There are some daner signs for Ticos. They aren't handling the Celtic man.

Karagounis shoots from 30 yards... good hands from Navas as it bounced in front of him.

Christodoulopoulos dummies a cross and cuts in from the left, but Costa Rica double up on him and manage to block him off.

The diagonal ball towards Samaras is causing some issues for Ticos.

STAT: The last team from CONCACAF to go further than the last 16 at the World Cup are the USA in 2002.

Karagounis corner is met by Borges at the near post. It's commanding clearance and the danger passes for Costa Rica.
