England
Mary Earps Perhaps could have done a little better for the opener. Fine save in the second half off Lorena Bedoya to keep lead intact. A little hesitant. 6
Jess Carter Had her work cut out handling Linda Caicedo for the full 90. Did well to keep up with her and force her wide on occasions. 7
Millie Bright Led by example at the back. Commanding performance in the air to head away Colombia’s potent deliveries. Threatened from corners at the other end. 7
Alex Greenwood Worked well once again in the back three. Sometimes caught out of position but recovered well. Struggled with Caicedo when she drifted. 7
Lucy Bronze Supported the attack well and afforded plenty of space to do so. Protected by the cover of Carter. Dropped back responsibly in the second half. 7
Georgia Stanway Sublime pass to set up England’s winner. Tenacious in the challenge and full of life moving forward. Colombia struggled to keep her from finding space. 7
Keira Walsh Commanded the midfield role and much improved from the game against Nigeria. Able to produce her trademark passes and find the spaces to drive England forward. 7
Ella Toone Struggled under pressure and when the space closed in the pocket. Tried hard to affect play and get involved. Touch at times let her down. 6
Rachel Daly Full of energy down England’s left and probably should have got on the scoresheet with multiple chances. A couple of lapses of concentration late on. 7
Alessia Russo Initially struggled to hold up the ball but tireless running whether through the middle or out wide. Instinctive run and finish won it for England. 8
Lauren Hemp Superb. Her blistering pace provided problems for Colombia’s defenders throughout. Alert finish to turn home England’s leveller on the stroke of half-time. 9
Substitutes: Chloe Kelly (for Russo, 84) 6; Bethany England (for Hemp, 90+3) 6
Colombia
Catalina Pérez Good stops early on but her double spill allowed Hemp to level. Not confident enough with deliveries coming in from either side. 5
Carolina Arias Forced off within the first 10 minutes with an ankle injury picked up while blocking an effort from Hemp. Briefly tried to shake it off. 6
Jorelyn Carabalí Another member of Colombia’s centre-back pairing who struggled. Beaten in the air too often on deliveries and did not command the box. 6
Daniela Arias Struggled with the energy of England’s front two when they ran at her. Allowed Russo to turn her and beat her for the winner. 6
Manuela Vanegas Struggled with the pace of Bronze and allowed her space to break into. Also troubled by Hemp and Russo when they broke down the channels. 6
Diana Ospina Marshalled the midfield area well but allowed Walsh too much space. Unable to influence much going forward. Gave away a few fouls. 6
Lorena Bedoya Strong performance in the middle of park and never gave up. Saw a brilliantly struck effort saved by Earps as Colombia sought a leveller. 7
Catalina Usme Colombia’s leader provided the energy throughout. Her deliveries from the right were dangerous and gave England’s defence plenty to think about. A constant threat. 7
Leicy Santos Sublime lifted strike gave Colombia the lead in spectacular fashion, dinking the ball over an outstretched Earps. A livewire with a big impact when moving forward. 8
Linda Caicedo The young talent sparkled throughout. Dazzling feet and speed gave Carter and Bronze difficulty. Provided the assist for Colombia’s goal. Problem in tracking back. 8
Mayra Ramírez Constant buzz of life. Led the line with energy and a thorn in England’s side. Flashed a good chance wide early in the second half. 7
Substitutes: Ana María Guzmán (for C Arias, 10) The 18-year-old struggled when entering the field early. A couple of hefty challenges and lucky to escape a booking. Supported attack well. 6; Natalia Giraldo (for Pérez, 68) 6; Ivonne Chacón (for Ospina, 78) 6
