The surprises have kept coming on day four of the FIFA World Cup. Two of the competition favourites have failed to win their respective opening matches, ensuring this tournament still has far more questions than answers.
It's tough to imagine a team that's more consistently good at the FIFA World Cup than Germany.
The day's other match was between Costa Rica and Serbia in Samara, also in Group E.
It was a game of few highlights but the main moment will be enough to make Serbian fans happy.
A superb free-kick from Serb captain Aleksandr Kolarov in the 56th minute provided the only goal of the match and, ultimately, a victory for the team known as the Eagles.
Kolarov says he saw a valuable opportunity with his set-piece, and he took it.
"I'm very happy that we won as a team. I think we showed real spirit that the Serbian team should have. It was a difficult moment in the match, and I knew I could change the course of it with one shot. I concentrated well, and hit my mark."
