The young soccer stars had a GREAT week this week. 18-year-old Linda Caicedo has been shining this World Cup, but this goal against Germany was something else. Her footwork and quickness on the ball are unparalleled–she makes the defenders look helpless. Ultimately, Caicedo’s goal helped Colombia win 2-1 over Germany. The other goal came in second-half stoppage time from 22-year-old Manuela Vanegas, who headed in a corner. Both these young players are leaving their mark on the world stage!
