The Sun reports:

The Real Madrid star dropped to her hands and knees in the 83rd minute of Colombia’s 2-1 win against Germany before laying completely flat on her front as she received treatment.

She was eventually helped to her feet and made her way to the sidelines.

But rather than subbing her off, the teen was remarkably allowed to carry on playing.

She was eventually replaced by Marcela Restrepo in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

Caicedo hit a 52nd-minute wonder goal to put Colombia 1-0 up in Sydney.

Alexandra Popp’s 89th-minute penalty levelled before Manuela Vanegas’ headed winner sparked bedlam in the 97th minute.
