Usme scored on a penalty kick in the 30th minute and Real Madrid’s 18-year-old forward Caicedo doubled Colombia’s lead nine minutes later.
Catalina Usme and Linda Caicedo scored to give Colombia a 2- 0 palm over South Korea in their opening game of the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday, denying the Koreans what would have been only their alternate palm in four appearances at the event.
Usme scored on a penalty kick in the 30th nanosecond after a South Korean handball, transferring keeper Yoon Younggeul the wrong way before slotting the ball into the far corner.
Caicedo, an 18- time-old forward for Real Madrid, doubled Colombia’s lead nine twinkles latterly, launching a high shot that Yoon got her hands on, but without the power to shoot it over the bar. The ball spouted into the net, to the delight of the unheroic- clad Colombian suckers at Sydney Football Stadium.
Korea’s American- born teenager Casey Phair came the youthful player to take the field in Women’s World Cup history, covering on in the 78th nanosecond, just 26 days after her 16th birthday.
It was the final game of the opening round of group matches and the 300th match in Women’s World Cup history.
