COLOMBIA star Jorelyn Carabali was stretchered off in worrying scenes at the end of their thrilling win over Germany.
The South American side shocked the two-time Women's World Cup champions 2-1 with a last-gasp winner from Manuela Vanegas.
But there was concern for Carabali after she fell to the floor with a head injury.
She was clattered by German striker Alexandra Popp and team-mate Daniela Arias.
Carabali collapsed to the turf and was down for several minutes while receiving treatment.
The Colombia squad surrounded the 26-year-old as they looked on hoping their centre-back would be OK.

She was eventually lifted up on a stretcher by medics and gave a thumbs up signal to let fans know she was alright.
Carabali, who plays her club football for Atletico Mineiro, was replaced by Monica Ramos for the closing stages of the clash in Sydney as Colombia held on to complete one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.
The dramatic game saw Linda Caicedo score a sensational goal of the tournament contender just days after collapsing in training – before crumpling to the pitch once again late in the game.
She also recently beat cancer.
