LINDA CAICEDO has bounced back from her health scare and scored a screamer against Germany.
The Columbian international netted the sensational goal as her side battled for a spot in the Women’s World Cup knockout stages.
The goal comes just days after she collapsed during a training session.
Caicedo, 18, was running with the ball on a dribble when she suddenly stopped and began clutching the left side of her chest.
She then tried to sit down but within seconds had keeled over, seemingly unconscious.
Colombian medical staff rushed over as a sense of panic overwhelmed the camp, with terrified team-mates fearing the worst.
Thankfully, Caicedo was able to regain consciousness by the time she was placed on a stretcher, ferried into the ambulance and off to a local hospital.
And she was able to make a full recovery in order to be able to feature against the Germans.
Caicedo showed that she has not lost any of her ability as she scored a fantastic go-ahead goal for Columbia in the 52nd minute.
She collected a loose ball in the German box, skilled her way past a defender and then unleashed a lovely shot into the top corner.
