Colombia stunned Germany at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. Linda Caicedo had given the South Americans the lead, but Alexandra Popp 89th-minute's penalty looked like Germany would get a point from the game. As the game heads to the tail end, Manuela Vanegas scored a 97th-minute winner from Leicy Santos' corner past Merms which sent Colombia supporters at Sydney Football Stadium into jubilation.

The goal condemned Germany to a first World Cup group stage defeat since 1995. Attention shifts till 3 August, when Colombia takes on Morocco and Germany face off South Korea. Colombia need a point to top the group, while Germany may need victory to be sure of reaching the knock-out stage.
