Alessia Russo’s second-half goal is the difference in a 2-1 quarterfinal victory as the Lionesses will next face co-host Australia Wednesday
SYDNEY — The tests keep coming for England at the Women’s World Cup and the Lionesses keep roaring.
Kiera Walsh was then sidelined after hurting her knee in the second game of the group stage and Lauren James is serving a two-game suspension for stepping on Nigeria defender Michelle Alozie in the round of 16.“We’ve had lots of challenges, and we’ve got through these challenges,” Wiegman said. “It showed the resilience of the team.”
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. Wiegman led the Lionesses to victory in the European Championship last year, having won that competition with Netherlands in 2017.
