The FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 continues to prove that it has nothing to envy from any competition and a sample of this is the victory that the Colombian team achieved against the Jamaican national team in the match corresponding to the Round of 16.
The team managed to qualify for the quarterfinals after winning by the slightest difference (1-0) with an impressive goal from Catalina Usme in the 51st minute to maintain the impressive game rhythm that the coffee team is having in this World Cup.
Usme’s score occurred after a cross from the band that ended right at the player’s feet;she quickly accommodated the ball in the corner so that the opposing goalkeeper had no chance to cover it.
This represents a historic event for the Colombian team, since it is the first time in history that it has qualified for the quarterfinals of the World Cup. In Germany 2011, the South American team was eliminated in the first round, while in 2015 they managed to participate until the Round of 16.
This fact represents an important event for Colombia, because it remains the only Latin American team alive within the Women’s World Cup; His next rival will be on Saturday, August 12, against the England team, who got their place in the quarterfinals after beating the Nigerian team on penaltiesafter a goalless tie.
For this quarterfinal match, Colombia arrives with a certain advantage, because the English will not be able to count on one of their most important figures; this absence is that of forward Lauren James, who was sent off in the match against Nigeria for stepping on her rival Michelle Alozie on the lower back.
For their part, the coffee makers have an important offensive line led by Catalina Usme and Linda Caicedo, who have been in charge of promoting the eleven in their best World Cup participation and remain firm in their quest to reach the final of the tournament.
