FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 Highlights Costa Rica 0-1 Serbia June 17 2018

Former Manchester City full-back Aleksander Kolarov scored a spectacular free kick as Serbia beat Costa Rica 1-0 in their opening Group E match.

The 32-year-old struck from 25-yards-out midway through the second-half as the European nation won the first ever match between the two sides.

Mladen Krstajic‘s side held out comfortably thereafter in Samara to get their campaign off to a winning start, with Costa Rica lacking the cutting edge to really threaten their opponents.

Meanwhile Sergej Milinković-Savić in particular looked dangerous while Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrović had a good game leading the line.

It was a deserved win for Serbia, who enjoyed slightly less possession than their rivals but looked dangerous throughout on the counter attacks.
