Manuela Vanegas scored a 97th-minute winner as Colombia stunned Germany at the 2023 Fifa Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

Linda Caicedo netted a wondergoal to give the South Americans the lead, before Germany equalised with an 89th-minute Alexandra Popp penalty.<\/p>\n

Vanegas then headed Leicy Santos\u2019 corner past Merle Frohms to send the vast numbers of Colombia supporters at Sydney Football Stadium wild.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It condemned Germany to a first World Cup group stage defeat since 1995.<\/p>\n

A manic ending came after Caicedo, 18, had brilliantly curled into the top corner on 53 minutes to shock the two-time world champions.<\/p>\n

The final round of fixtures in this group kick off at 11.00 BST on 3 August, with Colombia taking on Morocco and Germany facing South Korea.<\/p>\n

Colombia need a point to top the group, while Germany may need victory to be sure of reaching the knock-outs.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, you need to be happy and euphoric because this is a great win for the whole country and we\u2019ve been feeling this,\u201d said Colombia assistant coach Angelo Marsiglia.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut look, the game and the tournament still continues so we\u2019ll go step by step. We have a very mature team and they know what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n
