Linda Caicedo, a force of nature, snatched the ball and delivered a pinpoint assist to Mayra Ramirez, who then teed up Wendy Bonilla for a SCREAMER from the edge of the box! GOAL! Colombia struck first!
Australia, wounded, unleashed a furious onslaught. But Colombia's defense stood tall, a wall of unwavering resolve! Then, in the 69th minute, the tension EXPLODED! Hayley Raso, after a dazzling play down the left, unleashed a deflected shot that found the net! Equalizer! The stadium ERUPTED!
But Colombia wasn't done! Just FOUR minutes later, they answered with a thunderbolt! Catalina Usme, with a shot of pure power, saw her effort deflect past the Australian keeper, Teagan Micah! GOAL AGAIN! Colombia seized the lead once more!
