MELBOURNE, Aug 2 (Reuters) - A courageous Jamaica held Brazil to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday to reach the knockout phase for the first time in only their second Women's World Cup while condemning the South Americans to their earliest exit since 1995. Jamaica rode their luck to halftime and Brazil's desperation grew after the break as their attacks came to nothing. In search of a goal, the Brazilians exposed themselves to the counter-attack and Khadija Shaw all but made them pay. Brazil had one last chance in a final-minute goal-mouth scramble but Debinha headed straight to the keeper, allowing the Jamaicans to celebrate arguably their finest moment in international football.

Having won virtually every individual award in women's football, Marta missed out on the World Cup she had craved, and Brazil's wait for a first goes on. Sundhage said she had no idea whether Marta wanted to play on for the national team but suspected she would because of her love of the game. "Whether she’s good enough to be called up to the national team, let’s see," said Sundhage. "As long as I am coaching the national team, I am going to do a lot of work to find new players.

The team secured the country’s first ever Women’s World Cup point against France and then went one better by earning a first ever victory with a narrow 1-0 win over Panama. If the team is to add another historic achievement to its resumé and reach the knockout stages of a World Cup – men’s or women’s – for the first time, it will need to avoid defeat against Brazil. Brazil, currently a point behind Jamaica, knows only a victory will suffice – As Canarinhas can technically still progress with a draw, but would simultaneously require the extraordinarily unlikely scenario of a Panama victory over France. James Elsby/APThe 37-year-old is playing in her sixth and final World Cup and a major title with Brazil is the only accomplishment missing from her glittering career. In Group F’s other match, France can secure top spot with a victory over already eliminated Panama.

MELBOURNE, Aug 1 (Reuters) - France coach Herve Renard apologised on Tuesday for his furious outburst at Brazil staff at the end of his team's tight win at the Women's World Cup. With Brazil seeking a late equaliser at Brisbane's Lang Park on Saturday, a frustrated Renard took umbrage in the technical area as injury time dragged on due to frequent stoppages. Pointing at his watch and yelling at the Brazil camp, Renard was restrained by one of his staff and angrily brushed away a match official who intervened. The win over Brazil put France top of the group but level with second-placed Jamaica on four points. Renard said he would make changes to his starting 11 to freshen up the squad, and suggested captain Wendie Renard, who scored the winner against Brazil, might get some time off.

Synonymous with Brazilian women's soccer for two decades, "Queen Marta" no longer dominates her team on field quite as before. Her influence in the changing room remains strong, though, with team mates determined to give her a proper international send-off in her last World Cup. The all-time highest Women's World Cup scorer with 17 goals, Marta also shares the record of scoring at five editions of the tournament with Christine Sinclair. With 40-year-old Sinclair bowing out on Monday following Canada's elimination by Australia, Marta can become the first player, man or woman, to score at six World Cups.

It was a scoreless opening half, one where the history at stake for both teams – Panama was seeking a first World Cup win too – was palpable as Jamaica fired shot after shot over the crossbar and Panama seemed content to play out from the back. Jamaica secured its first Women's World Cup victory. Meanwhile, Panama fought to keep a foothold in the game, occasionally challenging Jamaica’s backline as its own defense scrambled well to keep the Reggae Girlz at bay. But it seemed a matter of time until Jamaica found the back of the net, and Swaby eventually put her team ahead, sparking jubilant celebrations on the field.
