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

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

Gonzalez is forced to concede a corner as the diagonal ball from left to right almost finds the run of Samaras.

Karagounis runs into a challenge from Duarte and comes off worse, clutching his knee. He'll be fine to continue though.

Bolanos fires it to the far post but it doesn't find a Costa Rican head and Greece breathe a sigh of relief.

Bolanos will take it. Bit of a delay as the referee tries to sort out a few scuffles in the box.

A short corner is worked to Campbell who skins his man before being upended by Karagounis just outside the area. It's on the edge of the box on the far right. Chance to dink one in.

Ruiz and Gamboa combine down the right with the latter winning a corner.

Campbell wins possession, sprays it out to the left and then darts into the middle. But he can't get on the end of the low cross that is easily hacked away at the near post.

He must be confident then...

Greece look good down the left flank, but give it away on this occasion and Ruiz is fouled on the centre circle to half a Costa Rica break.

Hopefully we will see some goals here. Greece's only clean sheet in nine matches at the WC came against Japan earlier in this tournament.

Karagounis' delivery is met by Papastathopoulos who can only guide a header wide after readjusting his run.

Greece earn the first corner of the contest. Karagounis will take it.

DID YOU KNOW? Greece have only won two of their nine World Cup matches. Both of those were by a 2-1 scoreline against African opposition (Nigeria in 2010 and Ivory Coast in 2014). Those wins are the only games in which they have managed to find the net.

Christodoulopoulos cuts in from the left but pulls his right-foot effort wide of the near post. It literally trickled out for a goal kick.

Greece's number 10 has been around for a while...

This has been a bright opening from Ticos. It's been much more open than expected.

Gonzalez drops one over the top for Bolaños but it's slightly overhit and Greece have a breather.

STAT: Greece are the only nation in the last 16 that ended the group phase with a negative goal difference (-2).

Ruiz picks up a loose ball 40 yards out and plays in Bolaños who sears a shot past the near upright.

This is the first time that Greece have ever reached the knockout stage of the World Cup while Costa Rica have achieved the feat once before back in 1990.
