Colombia are through to their first Women's World Cup quarter-final after downing Jamaica 1-0 on a night when Melbourne erupted into a mini-Bogota.
In just their third appearance in the tournament, the world No.26-ranked Colombians find themselves in the final eight along with heavyweights England and Spain.
Colombian captain Catalina Usme broke the deadlock in the 51st minute on Tuesday night to send the 27,706 fans at AAMI Park into delirium.
Crowd support rested solely with Colombia with one of the loudest and most raucous atmospheres at a game in this year's World Cup so far.
Jamaica's players would have been forgiven they were at a venue in South America instead of the Victorian capital, as the crowd jeered every time they had possession and passionately cheered when Colombia went near it.
After a physical and defensive first half, Usme's neat finish broke the round-of-16 match wide open as the world No.51-ranked Jamaicans conceded their first goal of the tournament.
The Reggae Girlz' defence with unflappable goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer had stood firm in group games against powerhouses France and Brazil.
But once they went behind, Jamaica were forced into attacking for the first time in the tournament and even had the better of large sections of the second half.
Immediately after Usme scored, Drew Spence had a gilt-edged opportunity to level for Jamaica only for Colombia to have another golden chance down the other end moments later.
In the 82nd minute an open Spence saw her header hit the post ensuring Colombian fans had to endure a few nervous moments right to the end.
Colombia will meet Euro champions England at Stadium Australia on Saturday night as they seek to cause an upset and win through to a semi-final.
"We came here to play seven finals," Usme said.
"We’re dreaming big, we know we can do it."
The result ends a brave run for Jamaica, who secured a knockout spot in just their second appearance in a World Cup and were forced into starting a GoFundMe page to fund their trip to Australia.
"We have some decent young players coming through so we need to have a transition and start preparing for the future - tomorrow," Jamaica coach Lorne Donaldson said.
"Maybe with some help from the (Jamaican) government, even though FIFA and government don't really mix. We need to figure something out."
