- 6 years ago
Let's get a wrap up of the latest action at the 2018 World Cup.
Holders Germany and multi-time winners Brazil have gotten off to a slow start in Russia.
Our Lee Seung-jae has the rundown of all the action starting with the day's first game: Costa Rica versus Serbia.
Day four of the Russia World Cup kicked off at the Samara Arena,... with the 23rd ranked Costa Rica taking on Serbia, ranked 34th by FIFA.
Known for their superb defense,... the Serbians needed just one goal,...
a superb free-kick in the 56th minute by left-back Aleksandar Kolarov,... to beat the Costa Ricans one-nil and scoop all three points from their first Group E match.
In Group F,... there was the shock defeat of the tournament so far.... with reigning World champions Germany losing one-nil to Mexico in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
Germany were in control,... until Hirving Lozano slotted the ball past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 35th minute,... giving the Tri-colors the lead.
At the other end of the pitch,.. a stunning performance by Mexico's goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa,... who made nine saves to help his team to a valuable and historic three points.
In the day's final game,... Switzerland faced off against the number two ranked Brazil,... who've won a staggering five World Cups in their history.
Brazil took the lead in the first half thanks to a long-range curling effort by Barcelona striker Philippe Coutinho in the 20th minute.
But looking less sharp in the second half, Switzerland were able to claw themselves back into the game through a header by Steven Zuber in the 50th minute to make it 1-1... and that's how it ended.
