Meanwhile, Colombia counter with a lovely attacking move. It leads to Jamaica conceding a corner.

The initial corner is cleared but the ball is soon back in the box thanks to a terrific deep cross from Usme which finds Santos who stoops low for a flying header.

It looks on target but the ball rebounds off the post. So close!

87 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Cameron unleashes a terrific ball into the box from the right.

She puts it on a plate for Spence to head home an equaliser. But the Jamaican plants her header into the ground and it flies just wide of the left-hand post.

That was a massive chance for the Reggae Girlz.

Shaw is doing all she can to find a leveller for Jamaica.

She makes a run into the Colombia box but is crowded out by two defenders.

Both teams are about to make another change.

76 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Jamaica opt against a long throw into the box, instead giving the ball to Blackwood to whip into the area.

It’s the wrong call as Blackwood’s cross is mis-hit and balloons behind for a goal kick.

Colombia are soaking up this late Jamaica pressure.

74 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Arias is booked for a blatant foul on Shaw. She pulled her shirt after the Jamaican forward got away.

Blackwood takes the free kick from almost 30 yards out. It’s curled into a dangerous area but Perez comes out to collect.

The keeper spills it but dives back on top of the ball and the referee also signalled for a foul by Shaw on the goalkeeper.

71 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Shaw gets a shot off from the edge of the area, but it lacks any sort of power and rolls into the arms of Perez.

67 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Santos finds Caicedo in acres of space on the left. She cuts inside into the penalty area, running at A Swaby.

Caicedo switches the ball onto her right foot and tries to bend a shot into the top corner, but it’s not well controlled and the ball flies over the bar.

There’s a lot of space for Colombia on the counter.

66 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Shaw picks up the ball on the right and pings a cross into the box from the byline.

It’s a deep cross that travels to the back post and just evades Brown, who had made a good run into the box.

That was the sort of opportunity that Shaw would have loved to have been on the end of herself.

63 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Ramirez punts the ball into the box from the right, but her cross doesn’t find a teammate.

Shaw is looking frustrated up top for Jamaica. She knows her team needs a goal but isn’t getting the necessary service.

There are 30 minutes left for the Reggae Girlz to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

61 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Jamaica know that they need a goal and they are searching for one. The game is now much more open.

Colombia win a corner but it’s cleared by the Reggae Girlz. Ramirez then fouls Swaby and the referee awards Jamaica a free kick in their own half.

58 mins: Colombia 1-0 Jamaica

Jamaica win a free kick in the right corner, and there is plenty of scrapping in the box.

The ball is finally whipped in, evading everyone and causing panic in the Colombia box. Brown heads the ball towards goal standing almost on the goal line, but she hits the post! She should have buried it.

Colombia counter rapidly through Caicedo who takes a shot from inside the box. It’s well saved by Spencer and Ramirez can’t put the rebound away. The replay shows that there was an offside in the build-up.

A frantic few minutes.
