Catalina Usme scored a curling goal to give Colombia a 1-0 victory against Jamaica in the last 16 of the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
Colombia will take on England in what will be their first-ever quarter-finals appearance.<\/p>\n
It was a cagey first half that saw a lot of fouls from both teams. With neither side being able to keep possession for long, and an abundance of turnovers, the match was very stop-start.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Colombia, who had the better chances, looked most threatening from set-pieces, with Leicy Santos delivering good balls, forcing two saves from Rebecca Spencer, who had kept a clean sheet in all of Jamaica\u2019s group stage matches.<\/p>\n
Bunny Shaw saw a header from a corner go wide but struggled during open play, with the Colombia defenders successfully crowding her out.<\/p>\n
The match opened up a lot more in the second half, and it rewarded Colombia, whose opener came in the 51st minute.<\/p>\n
Ana Guzman, 18, who was making her Colombia senior debut, supplied a fantastic switch of play from left to right, lifting her pass to Usme. The No. 11 managed to take a touch to evade Jamaica\u2019s Deneisha Blackwood and curled the ball across the goal and straight into the corner.<\/p>\n
Jamaica had chances to equalise from set pieces, but their deliveries were often over-hit, and they became too frantic as the clock winded down. They leave the World Cup having only scored and conceded once in their four matches.<\/p>\n
