Audio By Carbonatix
Colombia got their 2023 Fifa Women's World Cup off to the perfect start with victory over South Korea in Sydney.
Catalina Usme put the South Americans ahead from the penalty spot, before teenager Linda Caicedo, 18, doubled the lead thanks to an error from Korean keeper Yoon Young-geul.
That was enough to give Colombia their second-ever win at the tournament.
For South Korea, history was made as Casey Phair became the youngest-ever player at a Women's World Cup.
The forward, aged just 16 years and 26 days, was introduced as a 77th-minute substitute.
The Asian nation, who have now lost all four of their Women's World Cup opening matches, next face Morocco on 30 July in a must-win Group H match, before Colombia play Germany.
