Women's World Cup: Jamaica reach last 16 for first time as Brazil exit early
Marta competed in her sixth World Cup but could not extend her record tally of 17 goals in the competition
But Brazil, who recalled striker Marta to the starting XI, could not find the goal they needed and failed to progress for the first time in 28 years. Jamaica put themselves in a strong position when they held group favourites France to a goalless draw and followed it with a crucial 1-0 win over Panama without star striker Khadija Shaw, who was suspended after being sent off in their opening match.
That was Jamaica's only real chance as Brazil built pressure and searched endlessly for the goal they needed to take them through to the knockout stage.
