MONTREAL, June 17 (Reuters) - England punished some poor defending by Colombia to secure a fairly comfortable 2-1 win in their women's World Cup Group F game in Montreal on Wednesday and set up a clash with Norway in the next round.
England finished in second place on six points, behind France on goal difference, and will play Norway in Ottawa on June 22. Colombia have four points and could still qualify as one of the four best third-placed teams.
England, ranked sixth in the world, took the lead in the 15th minute when Colombian goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda fumbled a free kick and midfielder Karen Carney drilled the ball home from a tight angle.
