England continue to look like a renewed team against Colombia after looking so sluggish against Nigeria in the round of 16.
This time, it’s Rachel Daly who comes closest to putting England on the board in Sydney, her header from close range flying straight into the grateful arms of Catalina Perez.
Moments later, Daly once again tries his luck, choosing to shoot from long range with the effort of her simply flying over the bar.
The pressure from the Lionesses is definitely mounting.

Although it was finally annulled for offside, how did the ball not end up in the back of the net this morning?
Alessia Russo has had multiple chances to spike the ball in the first 10 minutes, but there are Colombia defenders and the goalkeeper on the way to deny it.
Although the flag is raised for offside early in the match as Russo was beyond the last defender, it is a warning for Colombia and a good sign for the Leonas.
Minutes later, Russo is the first in a cross again, but her header flies straight into the arms of Colombia’s goalkeeper, Catalina Pérez.
