England beats Colombia 2-1 to advance to Women's World Cup semifinal against Australia
"We always find a way through," said Russo, whose goal completed a come-from-behind win after Leicy Santos had given Colombia a first-half lead. "One of the strongest things about this team is we never give up."
Without star player James, England's route to the semifinals was made all the more complicated by Santos' strike in the 44th. The Lionesses produced arguably their most composed play as they controlled possession and probed Colombia's half before Lauren Hemp seized on a mistake by goalkeeper Catalina Perez to poke the ball over the line in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time.
England lost in the semifinals in 2015 and 2019, going out to Japan and the United States, respectively. Colombia, meanwhile, exits having made history by securing a place in the quarterfinals for the first time. It was the last remaining team from the Americas in the tournament. The keeper should have easily gathered the ball when Russo mis-controlled in the box, but let it slip out of her grasp and Hemp pounced.
