Posted : 30 July 2023
Colombia produced a sensational upset at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup as Manuela Vanegas' 97th-minute winner secured a historic victory over Germany.
 
The match saw a dramatic turn of events, with Linda Caicedo's wondergoal giving Colombia the lead. However, Germany fought back and equalized with an 89th-minute penalty converted by Alexandra Popp.
 
In the nail-biting final moments, Vanegas rose to the occasion, heading in Leicy Santos' corner to clinch a memorable win for Colombia, sending their passionate fans at Sydney Football Stadium into jubilation. It marked Germany's first group stage defeat in the World Cup since 1995.
 
The turning point came in the 53rd minute when 18-year-old Caicedo brilliantly curled the ball into the top corner, stunning the two-time world champions.
 
With the final group stage fixtures approaching, Colombia will face Morocco, aiming to secure a point to top the group, while Germany will take on South Korea, likely needing a victory to ensure qualification to the knockout stage.
 
Colombia's assistant coach, Angelo Marsiglia, expressed his delight for the entire country, emphasizing the team's maturity and determination. Germany's Lina Magull, anticipating Colombia's passion and physicality, faced an even tougher challenge than expected on the field.
 
The match showcased Colombia's fierce spirit, turning the game into a battle with tough challenges and intense midfield duels. Despite Germany's effort to level the score with the penalty, it was Vanegas, the unexpected hero from the full-back position, who sealed the historic victory.
 
Colombia's passionate fans made their presence felt, supporting their team with enthusiasm. At the final whistle, the atmosphere in Sydney resembled a Colombian celebration, as the team's triumph left a lasting impact on the World Cup stage.
