WWC round-up: Marta makes history and Kerr sends Australia through
Brazil and Australia joined Italy in progressing from Group C at the Women's World Cup, with Marta and Sam Kerr playing decisive roles.
Marta overtook Miroslav Klose to become the World Cup's new all-time leading goalscorer as Brazil beat Italy 1-0 to reach the last 16, with a Sam Kerr-inspired Australia also progressing after they crushed Jamaica 4-1.
Group C winners Italy had already confirmed their spot in the next round, and although they kept things tight, Brazil just about did enough to earn the crucial three points, taking them through in third place.
Brazil were made to work hard for the victory and only got the decisive goal 16 minutes from time, when Marta converted a penalty after Debinha had been fouled in the box. That took Marta's tally to 17 World Cup goals, one more than Klose managed during his career with Germany.
