(Melbourne) Catalina Usme found the back of the net in the second half as Colombia shut out Jamaica 1-0 on Tuesday at the Women’s World Cup.

The Colombians secured their first quarter-final match of the tournament, as both teams sought to secure their first win in the knockout stage.

Colombia, which had not even qualified for the Women’s World Cup in 2019, played a physical and tough match.

18-year-old sensation Linda Caicedo created several scoring chances and tested the Jamaican defence, which had yet to allow a goal during the tournament.

Colombia now meet England in the quarter-finals on Saturday after the latter beat Nigeria in a penalty shootout.

Usme screamed during her celebration after accepting a long pass from Ana Guzman and after scoring in the 52nd minute. When she was substituted late in the game, Colombian fans chanted her name.

We expected a duel between Caicedo and Jamaican Khadija Shaw, but it was Usme’s goal that finally made the difference.

Shaw proved a force in attack for Manchester City last season, scoring 20 goals in 22 league games. She was unable to hit the mark at the Women’s World Cup.

The ‘Reggae Girlz’ only scored one goal during the tournament, Allyson Swaby’s header in a 1-0 win over Panama.

The French women’s team won without trembling against Morocco (4-0) to validate its place in the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup against Australia on Tuesday in Adelaide.

With a double from Eugénie Le Sommer and goals from Kenza Dali and Kadidiatou Diani, Les Bleues matched their performance at the 2019 World Cup with this qualification for the quarterfinals. They will face co-hosts Australia on Saturday (3 a.m. Eastern) in Brisbane.
