Half time

Costa Rica 0-1 Germany

It's been mostly domination from Germany who went ahead thanks to an early Gnabry goal, and have had plenty of other chances to increase their lead. That said, Costa Rica looked more dangerous as the half wore on and had one brilliant chance to level, but Neuer made a crucial save.
