Colombia strikes late to upset Germany 2-1 in FIFA Women’s World Cup stunner

The Hindu  

Manuela Vanegas headed a stoppage-time winner to give Colombia a 2-1 upset victory over Germany just when the twice world champion thought it had saved a point in a thrilling Women’s World Cup clash at Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday. The defender powered the ball home from a corner eight minutes after German striker Alexandra Popp had converted a penalty to cancel out a stunning strike from Colombian teenager Linda Caicedo. The corner was Germany’s major weapon in its opening 6-0 thrashing of Morocco but Colombia goalkeeper Catalina Perez came out confidently to gather the first ball swung in from the corner flag. Germany forward Lina Magull had a good chance in the 21st minute but her swing at the ball made contact with nothing but air and Lena Oberdorf’s subsequent effort was blocked.
