Diogo Costa

ANALYSIS
Costa made six saves in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Colombia, dealing confidently with seven on-target attempts and making his most important contribution in the second half when he reacted sharply to deny Jhon Cordoba from close range after the striker had gotten in behind the Portuguese backline. His shot-stopping, composure under sustained pressure and command of his area make him one of the most reliable goalkeepers remaining at the tournament, and his performances across the group stage give Portugal the defensive certainty they will need against Croatia in the round of 32.
