Colombia stun Germany 2-1
Manuela Vanegas scored a 97th-minute winner as Colombia stunned Germany at the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup.
Linda Caicedo netted a wonder goal to give the South Americans the lead, before Germany equalised with an 89th-minute Alexandra Popp penalty.
Vanegas then headed Leicy Santos’ corner past Merle Frohms to send the vast numbers of Colombia supporters at Sydney Football Stadium wild.
It condemned Germany to a first World Cup group stage defeat since 1995.
A manic ending came after Caicedo, 18, had brilliantly curled into the top corner on 53 minutes to shock the two-time world champions.
The final round of fixtures in this group kick off at 11.00 BST on 3 August, with Colombia taking on Morocco and Germany facing South Korea.
Colombia need a point to top the group, while Germany may need victory to be sure of reaching the knock-outs.
