Real Madrid player bags a screamer, the rival levells the score from the spot, and, finally, Vanegas finds the back of the net in the dying seconds for a 2-1 win
How cute. Or 'Que Linda' in Spanish.
Those are the perfect words to describe both Linda Caicedo's game against Germany and her stunner which embellished Colombia's 2-1 crucial win at the FIFA Women's World Cup on Sunday afternoon. The 18-year-old Real Madrid's star dribbled past two rivals before firing it lovely into the upper far corner.

That was Linda's - ovarian cancer survivor, btw - second goal in this tournament, as she also netted in the opening match against South Korea to seal a 2-0 victory. The teenager is on the path to becoming a player of the tournament, especially if Colombia reaches the knockout stage and she adds a few more goals or assists to her already impressive account.

At that moment, only minutes separeted the South Americans from a vital win that would basically secure them a place in the last 16. Alas, the Germans were rewarded with a deserved penalty late in the game, and Alexandra Popp made the most of it to make it 1-1.
However, you know the saying - it's not over till the fat lady sings. And she was quiet for some time, which was enough for the South Americans to find the back of the net for the second time, in the dying seconds.

Vanegas was left totally unmarked in the heart of the box, and her resolute header went past the German keeper straight into the net for an ecstatic celebration both in the stands and on the pitch.
