Britain advanced to the quarterfinals of the Olympic women's soccer tournament Saturday by beating Cameroon 3-0 Saturday.

Stephanie Houghton scored her second goal of the tournament late in the game, while captain Casey Stoney tapped in a free kick in the 18th minute to put her team in the lead and Jill Scott added another four minutes later.

Britain will next play Brazil at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday to decide which team wins Group E. Cameroon will face New Zealand on Tuesday for third place.
