Michael Umana "dreamed" of Costa Rica victory

Umana "dreamed" of Costa Rica victory

Costa Rica defender Michael Umana has said that he dreamed his country would beat Greece in their World Cup last-16 match.

The Central Americans booked their place in the quarter-finals of the tournament following a penalty shootout victory on Saturday.

"Last night, I dreamt, this, it seems untrue," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"I was relaxed because I dreamed it. I dreamed it but I didn't tell anyone. I felt very confident.

"This is for my family. It's for the colleagues who got injured before coming here. They're not with us, but they gave us a hand on the pitch."

Costa Rica will face the Netherlands in their quarter-final tie on Saturday.
