Colombia stuns France 2-0 in Women's World Cup

Lady Andrade and Catalina Usme scored goals as Colombia stunned third-ranked France 2-0 Saturday in one of the biggest upsets in Women's World Cup history.

The underdog Colombians opened the scoring in the 19th minute. Andrade broke free from a pair of defenders for a tap-in goal.

Usme clinched her country's first World Cup win with a goal on the counter attack in the 93rd minute.

The French lost despite outshooting Colombia 21-3.

France was unlucky as well. Colombian defender Daniela Montoya appeared to touch the ball with her hand inside the penalty area in the 67th minute, but a foul wasn't called.
