England fought back from a goal down to beat Colombia 2-1 and set up a Women’s World Cup semi-final with Australia.
ENGLAND FOUGHT BACK from a goal down to beat Colombia 2-1 on Saturday in a bruising encounter and set up a tasty Women’s World Cup semi-final with Australia.
Colombia have been one of the best-supported teams at the tournament and their fans dominated at Stadium Australia, their yellow shirts vastly outnumbering England supporters.Colombia are ranked 25 in the world to England’s four and they were clear underdogs, even if they did beat Germany in the group phase.
Jeers went up each time the Lionesses had the ball but they seemed to be enjoying themselves and finding pockets of space in front of the Colombian defence with ease. Koroleva was in danger of losing a grip on the game with England putting in some flying challenges of their own in retaliation.Rachel Daly, one of the England players shaken up by Guzman, twice went close midway through the first half, heading at Perez and then firing over from distance.
