KATHMANDU: Serbia’s captain Aleksandar Kolarov scored a sensational goal courtesy of free-kick to give his team a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Costa Rica at the Samara Arena today.
Serbia missed a host of chances before skipper Kolarov stepped up the plate to take a decisive free-kick which curled over the bar and beyond the outstretched gloves of Keylar Nevas.
Striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was the culprit of missing gilt edge chances to put the game to bed before being withdrawn on the dying minutes of the game to kill some valuable seconds.
Later today, World Champions Germany will take on Mexico at 8:45 pm kick-off. In late kick-off today, five-time world champions Brazil will lock horns against Switzerland at 11:45 pm.
