MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Catalina Usme scored early in the second half and Colombia edged Jamaica 1-0 on Tuesday to advance to the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals for the first time. Colombia will face European champion England on Saturday at Stadium Australia in Sydney. England advanced on penalties after a scoreless draw with Nigeria on Monday night. Usme yelled in celebration after trapping a long pass from Ana Guzman and calmly finishing in the 52nd minute. It was the first goal Jamaica conceded in the tournament. Teenage star Linda Caicedo had opportunities but wasn’t able to add to Colombia’s tally in a tough, physical encounter.
