Melbourne, Aug 8 (Ians) Colombia made football history in FIFA Women’s World Cup as they built on the momentum to reach the quarterfinals by knocking out Jamaica 1-0 in a Round of 16 match here on Tuesday.
Colombia moved to the knockout phase for the second time by winning Group H having previously achieved the feat at the finals in 2015. Their last appearance in the round of 16 saw them go down 2-0 to the U.S., reports Xinhua.
Jamaica have earned an unexpected last-16 spot after eliminating Brazil in Group F and qualified for the knockouts for the first time, becoming the third team from Concacaf to achieve that in the history of the competition after U.S. and Canada. They are one of three teams that did not concede a single goal in the group stage.
It was fairly a tedious first half, as both sides failed to create genuine chances.
