Catalina Usme’s goal breaches Jamaica’s defence for first time in the World Cup to give Colombia 1-0 win and set up a clash with England in the quarters.

A second-half goal by Catalina Usme fired Colombia to a 1-0 win over Jamaica and carried the South Americans to their first Women’s World Cup quarter-final.

The captain’s 51st-minute strike sent Colombian fans into delirium at a packed Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Tuesday and ensured they will battle England for a place in the last four.

What had been a testy and physical clash up to halftime exploded into life after Usme’s breakthrough, the first time Jamaica’s defence has been breached in this World Cup, with both teams attacking furiously.

Jamaica’s “Reggae Girlz” had chances to level the match but bowed out swinging, having reached the knockout phase in their second World Cup.
