Thank you so much for joining me for this match. Colombia were tactically astute but the two errors they did make were pounced on by England and it ended up the difference. England face Australia next, a tough one against the co-hosts. For all the action read Suzanne Wrack’s report below, with further pieces to follow. We will being you all the live coverage from the semi-finals in a few days time, until then have a great weekend!

Sarina Wiegman spoke to ITV, and ever the stickler, is not fully satisfied. It’s why she’s a winner. “A very tough challenge but we didn’t expect anything else. We showed resilience, in the first half we played very good. In moments we were sloppy on the ball and they were really dangerous on the counter. We conceded but we came back. I actually thought their keeper had the ball for our goal.
“Second half we pushed, we found a way to keep that score and win the final duals. I just hoped we would have finished the game off sooner because we could have. We know they are dangerous but again I am so proud of the team, we find a way to score to win the duels. If we had kept the ball a bit better, we could have won it a little earlier.”
