Colombia pip Jamaica to advance to WWC last 8

Colombia’s captain Catalina Usme scored a low, left-foot strike to give the South Americans the win over Jamaica.

“We are representing the whole continent of South America,” Colombia coach Nelson Abadia told reporters. Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz had chances to level the match but bowed out swinging in front of a crowd of 27,706, having reached the knockout phase for the first time in their second World Cup. “I feel very happy for the players that they could perform at this level without adequate games to play ,” he said.“We made some bad mistakes. I give credit to them, they were ready to play.”

It was wasted, though, with Jorelyn Carabali sending a wild volley from the edge of the area sailing over the bar. Usme showed a deft touch to slip past Jamaica defender Deneisha Blackwood and fire a low, left-foot strike inside the far post.
