The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup continues Monday (on FS1 and the FOX Sports app) with a Group H matchup between Colombia and South Korea at Sydney Football Stadium in Australia.

Columbia added to its lead late in the first half as Linda Caicedo showed off some fancy footwork before scoring her first FIFA Women’s World Cup goal.
