Women’s World Cup guide: Results, schedule and how to watch

RESULTS

Manuela Vanegas scored with a header in the seventh minute of stoppage time to seal Colombia’s 2-1 upset over Germany. Alexandra Popp had scored an 89th-minute penalty and seemed to have earned two-time champion Germany a 1-1 draw after 18-year-old Linda Caicedo had struck a stunning opener for Colombia. But there was more to unfold in a dramatic Group H game in Sydney.

After dropping its opening match 6-0 to Germany, Morocco rounded to beat South Korea 1-0 and becomes the first Arab Nation ever to win a game at a Women’s World Cup.

New Zealand outshot Switzerland and even moved goalkeeper Victoria Esson into an attack position several times but failed to break a 0-0 deadlock and became the first host nation to be eliminated in group play in Women’s World Cup history.

Sophie Roman Haug’s hat trick kickstarted Norway’s dormant offence and sparked a 6-0 blowout win over the Philippines that moved her team into the knockout stage.
