上一场荷兰对阵墨西哥时罗本的假摔引起了热议。第53分钟，罗本右路突破被乌马纳放倒，后者因此吃到黄牌。罗本右路任意球低传外线，斯内德18米外射门打飞。

Robben's admission that he dived during the Netherlands' win over Mexico in the previous round dominated the pre-match build-up and Umana followed Diaz into the book after he too fouled the forward, who cleverly set up Sneijder to blaze over from the resulting 53rd-minute set play.

第60分钟，哥斯达黎加队左路快速反击，在大禁区内接应的坎贝尔（Joel Campbell） 被因迪（Indi）从身后一推摔倒在地，主裁判伊尔马托夫示意比赛继续。之后，博拉诺斯（Christian Bolanos）任意球开出，冈萨雷斯（Giancarlo Gonzalez）在对方球员干扰下头球顶偏。

It was Joel Campbell and not his illustrious opponent who went to ground easily in the 60th minute as a promising Diaz raid down the left came to nothing, before Giancarlo Gonzalez headed over from another fine Christian Bolanos delivery to increase Dutch anxiety.

第81分钟，冈萨雷斯对罗本犯规吃到黄牌，斯内德获得禁区左侧任意球，皮球击中立柱弹出。

There was contact from Gonzalez and another booking as Robben went to ground theatrically in the 81st minute. Sneijder watched his free-kick from the left-hand corner of the area cannon back off the post.

第88分钟，斯内德妙传，范佩西神奇踢空。

Van Persie was then denied by Navas and he somehow failed to connect with Sneijder's delicious 88th-minute cross.

伤停补时阶段，这名曼联射手卷土重来，布林德（Daley Blind） 接斯内德直塞球在左路横传门前，范佩西大禁区右侧劲射，皮球被守在门线上的特赫达（Yeltsin Tejeda）一挡击中横梁后弹出。
