Group F final match between Jamaica and Brazil will be a do-or-die affair after Jamaica won their first ever World Cup match, defeating debutants Panama by a lone goal.
Allyson Swaby rose highest to head home Trudi Carter’s cross in the 56th minute. This victory has far reaching consequences.
Recall that Jamaica held France to a goalless draw in their opening match, so this victory gave them four points and one point above Brazil, who they play on Wednesday.
While Jamaica need only a draw to qualify for the round of 16 with five points, Brazil must win the Reggae Girlz to qualify with six points.
Jamaica is a dangerous team to encounter at this time as they showed against France. They faced one of the favourites toe to toe and frustrated them for ninety minutes. If the re-enact the same performance against Brazil a huge upset could just be in store.
However, Brazil, with their arrays of experienced stars, should be able to find their way through the Reggae Girlz.
