Costa made his debut for Adelaide United in a home match against Sydney FC. He came on as a substitute for the injured Sergio Cirio in the 31st minute. In the 72nd minute he was fouled by Matthew Jurman in the box, and the resulting penalty kick was converted by Jake Barker-Daish, giving Adelaide the lead. However 10 minutes later Corey Gameiro equalised for Sydney and the game ended with the scores level.{{cite web|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Adelaide-denied-by-10man-Sydney-FC/82245|title=Adelaide denied by 10-man Sydney FC|first=Steve|last=Barrett|publisher=Football Federation Australia|date=3 January 2014}}
