    COLOMBIA LOOK TO BREAK BUT...
    The referee blows the whistle as Trudi Carter is down. The replay shows she was hit in the face hard with the ball.
    Cue the boos from the crowd as she gets treatment.
    The teams regroup and they all receive some instruction from coaching staff during the stop.
    19'
    COLOMBIA CHANCE
    Santos goes forward but can't do much with the ball except win a throw-in after failing to beat Van Santen. The ball then gets to Ramirez, who almost weaves her way through the penalty box, but once again, Van Santen gets in the way before she can get a shot off.
    18'
    BOOS RING OUT IN THE STADIUM
    Colombia fans insistent on making this hostile for their opponents. After their team have a chance, they boo Spencer, who they deem takes too long to pass it out.
    One of the best atmosphere's of the tournament so far.
    15'
    COLOMBIA CHANCE
    First real chance of the game, and it goes to Colombia. It's a good ball threaded through by Usme, but Garcia's shot is weak and straight at Rebecca Spencer.
    14'
    CHEERS FOR CAICEDO
    The cheers for Colombia are loud. The cheers for Linda Caicedo are deafening. She shows off some good skill on the right flank, but Jamaica crowd her out.
    12'
    JAMAICA COUNTER
    This will probably be how Jamaica hope to get at Colombia. They counter again, but Colombia manage to win a throw-in.
    May have been a hand-ball in the build-up from Shaw, which the referee claims to have not seen despite arguments from Colombia.
    10'
    VERY STOP-START
    And now Shaw is down after clashing into Arias. It's been a very physical affair in these opening ten minutes.
    She's also OK to continue.
    8'
    JAMAICA COUNTER
    Jamaica are so reliant on Bunnny Shaw. On the counter, Spence looks for their talisman who tries to lay it off, but it's offside.
    Ospina then goes down. She gets treatment for a while, but is OK to continue.

    INJURY
    Colombia get their first attack, but it doesn't lead to much. Usme gets caught on her achilles and she goes down, seemingly in a lot of pain.
    It takes a while, but she eventually gets up.
    3'
    JAMAICA IN THE BOX EARLY
    C Swaby's long throw-in is straight in the box and it's to Brown, who gets a shot off, but it's not on target.
    2'
    COLOMBIA FANS CHEERING THEIR TEAM ON
    There are certainly more Colombians in the stadium today, and they're LOUD in cheering their team on.
    And some booing when Jamaica get on the ball...

    COLOMBIA V JAMAICA: THE STATS
    • This is Colombia's second time in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup, having also made the first knockout round in 2015.
    • Jamaica are the first Caribbean nation to play in the knockout stages of a FIFA World Cup - male or female - since Cuba in 1938.
    • These two sides are the last remaining representatives from their respective federations (Colombia from Conmebol, Jamaica from Concacaf) at this World Cup.
    • Jamaica did not concede in any of their three group games. In 2019, making their Women's World Cup debut, they conceded 12 goals in three matches.

    COLOMBIA HERE TO MAKE HISTORY
    One of the many tournament shocks was certainly Colombia's 2-1 victory against Germany in the group stages. It's a result that will long live in the memory, and at the time, Mayra Ramirez proudly expressed what Colombia's aim at the World Cup was.

    ENGLAND'S ROUTE TO THE FINAL
    Whoever wins today's match will meet England in the quarter-finals.
    The Lionesses dug deep yesterday to beat Nigeria 4-2 on penalties despite being a man down for about 40 minutes during normal time and extra time.
    Can they make it all the way? Here's how we've mapped up their route to the final.

    FOOTBALL MATCH OR BOXING MATCH?
    "This is like a boxing match, someone will go down. We want to be standing when the game is over," said Jamaica manager Donaldson on today's matchup.
    "We’re going to eat the same food and train at the same time. Tactically, we do have to change. Our tactics for the three teams we’ve faced were different, so we have to change it.
    "If we’re spot on and get it right, then I think we can have a good result. If they aren’t right, then so be it. So we have to tactically be right, and if a team is better than us then they’re better than us. But we’re going to try and give it everything that we’ve been doing and hopefully we can come out on a positive note.
    “You can never faze a Jamaican. Whether it’s just life experiences, the way some of these girls grew up or just everything - we’ve seen it all. When you throw something at us, it’s like, ‘Ok, we have seen that one.’
    "As a whole, whether it’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the Sunshine Girls, Usain Bolt or Bob Marley, Jamaicans are a resilient type of people. We’re a small nation, but we don’t fear anything. Most Jamaicans really go by that, whether you’re a judge or a teacher, anything - we think we can do it all.
    "Sometimes we’re wrong, but at least there’s a belief. We want all the young people in Jamaica, man, woman, boy or girl, to start believing the impossible is possible."

    COLOMBIA'S NUMBER 10 AND HER JOURNEY TO THE TOP
    In one of our World at their Feet episodes, Leicy Santos tells the incredible story of how her father sold some of his pigs in order to help the family afford a move to Bogota, a move they had to make for the sake of her career because it was the only place that would give her a chance.
