　　哥斯达黎加在当地时间周日的点球大战中战胜希腊，首次进入世界杯四分之一决赛。这也是这个周末上演的第二场点球大战，当地时间周六，巴西在点球大战中以微弱优势战胜智利。

　　世界杯比赛进入淘汰赛阶段(knockout stage)就不允许有平局出现了，因为要决出胜负来决定哪个球队进入四分之一决赛(quarterfinals)。双方若在比赛规定时间内打成平局，就会进行半个小时的加时赛(extra time)，如果加时赛结束还没有决出胜负，就要进行点球大战(penalty shootout)，双方各发5个点球(penalty kick)，进球多者获胜，5个点球后仍为平局的，就继续进行，直到决出胜负为止。
