Commenting on the Group B match between Spain and Portugal, FIFA praised "Douglas Costa" for scoring twice against Portugal in its official Twitter account dedicated to the World Cup in Russia.

Apparently, the Twitter account confused Diego Costa, the striker from the Spanish national team with Brazil's player Douglas Costa, who has yet to make his own debut at the World Cup 2018 matches.
