WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING TODAY’S QUARTER-FINALS MATCH BETWEEN THE LIONESSES AND COLOMBIA, WHICH THE LIONESSES WON BY 2 – 1 AND ARE NOW INTO THE SEMI-FINALS TO PLAY AUSTRALIA! THE LIONESSES FOUND OUT EARLY ON THAT THIS COLOMBIAN TEAM WERE TENACIOUS, BUT ADAPTED TO THEIR STYLE WELL. SANTOS SCORED THE FIRST GOAL FOR COLOMBIA, WHICH WAS AN EYE-OPENER FOR THE LIONESSES, BUT IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE LAUREN HEMP EQUALISED WITH A STUNNING GOAL, SIX MINUTES INTO STOPPAGE TIME, BEFORE HALF-TIME. THIS MEANT THAT IT WAS 1 – 1 AT THE BREAK. IN THE SECOND-HALF, THE LIONESSES ‘CAME OUT FIGHTING’ CREATING MANY ENERGETIC, EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES, BUT WITH RAMIREZ, SANTOS, AND CAICEDO ALL, SEEMINGLY TRYING TO BE ‘EQUALLY ENERGETIC’, IT WAS CERTAINLY INTERESTING, WITH NON-STOP ACTION, CHALLENGES AND EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT STUFF AGAIN. THEN, IN THE 63RD MINUTE, RUSSO SCORED A SUBLIME GOAL, WHICH WAS ASSISTED BY BRAVE, QUICK-THINKING GEORGIA STANWAY, AND WITH SUCH PRECISION, THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE CHANCE THAT IT COULD BE SAVED. ONCE AGAIN, THE LIONESSES ROARED, AND WITH AUSTRALIA TO PLAY NEXT – IT’S ONWARDS AND UPWARDS…!
