With a throng of screaming fans behind them, Colombia shocked Germany in Sydney when Manuela Vanegas headed in a corner in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
They saw Colombia, ranked No. 25 in the world, ascend to six points in Group H, ahead of the three for Germany, ranked No. 2 in the world, and three for Morocco, which scored a historic first World Cup win Sunday over South Korea, six days after losing 6-0 to Germany. They saw the biggest win in Colombia’s women’s soccer history in its third World Cup and first since 2015, a win assistant manager Angelo Marsiglia, filling in Nelson Abadia who finished a two-match suspension, called “euphoric.
They brought a second straight night of roars from South Americans that sounded indiscernible from any men’s match, perhaps a sign of changed times in an event that has produced only two South American semifinalists in eight previous editions. And they roared even while Germany looked the better side and had the more possession through a goalless first half and early in the second.Then one of Colombia’s game counterattacks in the 53rd minute led to the ball caroming among players in the box.
Born in the town of Candelaria in the metro area of Cali, the third-largest city in Colombia, Caicedo brings another reminder of how anymore, the world continues to raise little girls who grow up to cause big sounds. She has surpassed a diagnosis of ovarian cancer at age 15, then surgery and chemotherapy and fear she wouldn’t regain her powers, then a collapse on July 27 here during practice, attributed to fatigue and pressure. She signed in February with Real Madrid.
