90+4'
Full time. A totally deserved win for Costa Rica, who are through to the knockout stages.
90+2'
Brenes tries to bend a shot into the top corner, and it is just feet wide. Still, nice for something to happen.
90+1'
Four minutes of stoppage time to come. Urena tumbles in the box under the attention of Barzagli as he chases a 1-2, but the referee awards nothing.
90'
Italy win a corner on the left. Cerci takes, it comes to Cassano, and as he falls he sends the ball well wide.
88'
Looking forward to Germany - Brazil in the final, then.
86'
Cerci is ruled offside. At a rough estimate that is the billionth time an Italian player was ruled offside.
85'
A ribald joke for you.
84'
Urena gets to a high ball over the top, he jinks inside towards the goal, and Chiellini comes around to block his shot.
83'
Insigne has a volley from inside the D, and it's about 40 yards over.
81'
Ruiz comes off, to be replaced by Brenes.
79'
Some good defending from Diaz on the left wing frustrates Abate and Costa Rica have a goal kick. The defending has been excellent so far.
77'
Urena is dispossed in the box and Pirlo starts an attack. Cassano hits a ball over the top for Balotelli, but Navas has it.
75'
Still, nothing has happend since this moment.
