Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only captain in the World Cup who has successfully taken a free-kick in the tournament so far. Serbia skipper Aleksandar Kolarov did the same against Costa Rica as they picked up a 1-0 win over Costa Rica. The scoreline had remained 0-0 in the first 54 minutes, and neither of the two teams were able to create too many chances. The opportunity presented itself to Serbia when David Guzman fouled Aleksandar Mitrovic in a dangerous area, 30 yards away from the goal. Kolarov stepped up to take the set piece and hammered a left-footed shot straight into the right edge of the area from an acute angle. Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas had no choice but to watch the ball fly away into the back of the net.
