But there was concern for Carabali after falling to the floor with a head injury.

She was clattered by German striker Alexandra Popp and team-mate Daniela Arias.

Carabali collapsed to the floor and was down for several minutes while receiving treatment.

The Colombia squad surrounded her as they looked on hoping their centre-back would be okay.

She was eventually lifted up on a stretcher by medics and gave a thumbs up signal to let fans know she was alright.

Carabali was replaced by Monica Ramos for the closing stages of the clash in Sydney as Colombia held on to complete one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.

The dramatic game saw Linda Caicedo score a sensational goal of the tournament contender just days after collapsing in training.

She had also recently beaten cancer.

Popp equalised for Germany with 89th minute penalty only for Colombia to win it with a Vanegas bullet header in the 97th minute.

It is Nelson Abadia’s team’s second win after beating South Korea 2-0 in their opener and they look set for a place in the knockout rounds.
