What They're Saying
Brazil head coach Vadao (via FIFA): "Costa Rica fought hard, but we kept attacking and eventually managed to score the winning goal. This victory will give us a good confidence boost ahead of our Round of 16 game with Australia."
Australia head coach Alen Stajcic (via FIFA): "I'm obviously very proud of the team. I read a lot of reports before the tournament and I don't think one predicted us to progress. The first ten minutes [against Sweden] were fantastic, and then we lost some composure for a while. A tough game and not a pretty one to watch perhaps, but this gives us so much belief that we can take on the best and beat them in the knockout rounds."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Andressa Alves was an integral part of Brazil's unbeaten run in the group stage. In two starts, the 22-year-old has one goal. She'll look for another against Australia on Sunday.
