France and Colombia advanced to the last eight at the women's World cup on Tuesday following victories over Morocco and Jamaica respectively. Colombia's passage was a hard fought 1-0 win at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium while veteran striker Eugénie Le Sommer bagged a brace as France cruised past the Moroccans 4-0 at the Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide.

Seeking a place in the last-eight for the fourth tournament on the trot, France started vibrantly against a team listed 67 places beneath them in world rankings.
