For Germany-Schreck Colombia, the World Cup ended in the quarter-finals. The European champions, on the other hand, can continue to dream of the title.
England’s footballers are in a semi-final at a World Cup for the second time since 2015. The European champions defeated tournament shock Colombia with a lot of effort 2:1 (1:1).
Leicy Santos had put the strong-willed and strong-willed Cafeteras in the lead in Sydney (44th). Lauren Hemp equalized just before the break for England (45+6) before Alessia Russo scored the winning goal (63′). Colombia played a part in the early exit of the DFB women in a 2-1 group win against Germany at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The Lionesses are now also in Sydney next Wednesday (12:00 CEST) to battle co-hosts Australia, who previously defeated France on penalties in Brisbane after a goalless regular time and overtime, for a place in the final. In the other semi-final, Spain and Sweden will meet in Auckland on Tuesday (10:00 a.m. CEST).
Wiegman team has been struggling for a long time
Sarina Wiegman’s team, the last remaining coach in the tournament, struggled against the South American runners-up for a long time. The English team also had to do without the suspended Lauren James. Santos fooled world goalkeeper Mary Earps with a long ball to make it 1-0. When equalizing, Catalina Perez, who will play for Werder Bremen next season, blundered between the posts of Colombia: Hemp poked the ball into the goal.
Colombia’s young star Linda Caicedo was mostly in good hands with the experienced Lucy Bronze. But the English team lacked ideas on the offensive for a long time – until Bayern professional Georgia Stanway served Russo and the Arsenal striker scored the 2-1.
