The German women's team was confused by the confident debut of the Colombian girls. Not only that, the festive atmosphere created by South American fans also made the team that had won the world championship twice face many difficulties.
In the 8th minute, from a corner kick on the right wing, the Colombian women's team almost opened the scoring with a header off the post by Ramirez.
The German women's team gradually controlled the game but had difficulty finding a way into Colombia's goal. The match was later turned upside down due to the situation of Colombian female players on the field.
On the other hand, the German women's team held the ball more but their attack was not sharp. Therefore, the first half ended without any goals from either side.
Entering the second half, Colombia's young midfielder Linda Caicedo had a technical handling in the penalty area and then curled a dangerous ball into the far corner to open the score for the South American representative.
The goal was like a "cold water bag" for Germany, forcing them to try to push up their formation to find an equalizer. However, the South American representative's defense had a solid day, especially in the high ball attacks.
With only 2 minutes left, hope is lit up for Germany when Oberdorf was fouled by Perez in the penalty area. On the 11m mark, Alexandra Popp defeated the Colombian goalkeeper, bringing the match back to the starting line.
But thinking the match would end in a draw, Colombia scored a "golden" goal in the 90+8 minute. From a corner kick on the right wing, Vanegas flew to head the ball dangerously, sealing the score at 2-1.
In the end, the Colombian women's team defeated the German women's team 2-1 in an emotional match.
The world-ranked team only needs a draw against Ma roc in the final match of Group H to secure a place in the next round. Meanwhile, the German girls must defeat Korea.
