Marta Vieira da Silva’s career spanning 6 Women World Cup’s came to end at last when Brazil failed to score against Jamaica. It was the Jamaican’s (wearing Brazil’s yellow,while Brazil were clad in blue) who made it to the last 16 on the basis of that goalless draw.

Marta exits the world stage as an inspiration for many to follow with the record of the greatest scorer against her name ( 17 goals) .She spoke tearfully and powerfully on gender equality and persistence and about not giving up on dreams.
