Minutes earlier, having scored Portugal’s second goal on the road to knocking out FIFA U-20 World Cup host Korea Republic, Costa had emphatically pointed to is upper forearm as he charged towards the camera, wanting to share his moment with those thousands of miles away.

Hair has always been the long-standing bastion of the football fashionista, with Korea Republic 2017 having more than its fair share of eye-catching styles. One belonging to the home fans’ most cherished starlet. "I change my hairstyle ahead of any major tournament and this one was no exception," Lee Seungwoo explained to FIFA.com.
