Catalina Usme scored the only goal of the match in the 51st minute and Colombia outlasted Jamaica 1–0 on Tuesday to advance to the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals in Melbourne, Australia.

Usme punched a left-footed strike past Jamaica goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer, first corralling a pass from Ana Guzman from across the box. Colombia is the lowest seeded team left in the Women’s World Cup and advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time.
