By , Reporter
Costa Rica defender Michael Umana says that he dreamed his country would beat Greece in their World Cup last-16 match.

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.
