Brazil icon Marta has made her final Women's World Cup appearance after Jamaica hung on for a 0-0 draw to knock the South Americans out of the tournament.
After losing 2-1 to France, Brazil needed to defeat Jamaica at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Wednesday night to progress to the knockout stage.
However, the Reggae Girlz defended grimly to secure their second 0-0 result of the group stage, after also drawing with France, to book their place in the round of 16 for the first time.
Brazil dominated possession and had the better of the attacking play, particularly in the second half, but were unable to find a winner.
Andressa's free kick from just outside the penalty box in the 86th minute failed to trouble Jamaican goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer.
It ends the World Cup career of Marta, who made her tournament debut in 2003, and holds the record for most goals scored by a men's or women's player with 17.
The 37-year-old started for the first time in the tournament, only coming to the bench in the 80th minute as Brazil searched for some spark to find a goal.
The 37-year-old spoke passionately ahead of the game, hoping she had been an inspiration for women's players she didn't have growing up.
"When I started playing, I didn't have an idol — a female idol," she said.
"You guys didn't show any female games. How was I supposed to see other players?"
Jamaica will return to Melbourne for their knockout clash, likely to be against Colombia with the South Americans top of Group F leading into their final match against Morocco on Thursday.
Players from both sides were left in tears but this was not the only upset of the day.
Earlier South Africa stunned Italy 3-2 to make the knockout stage and record their first win in the tournament finals.
Thembi Kgatlana scored a 92nd-minute winner to seal the African champions' progression, finishing Jermaine Seoposenwe's cutback to spark frenzied scenes in the New Zealand capital on Wednesday.
The livewire striker was Banyana Banyana's stand-in captain and thumping heartbeat all night, willing her nation forward against a side 38 places higher on the FIFA rankings.

FULL-TIME: Jamaica 0 - 0 Brazil
Brazil are out! Jamaica go through!
Tears of joy for Jamaica, tears of sadness for Brazil. Marta looks stunned on the bench.
Phenomenal defence from the Reggae Girlz - they are yet to concede a goal at this tournament and that's the first 0-0 draw in Brazil's World Cup history.
Another brilliant day
Once again this World Cup is proving the gap between the traditional powers and the rest of the world has closed.
Who would have anticipated Jamaica qualifying ahead of Brazil, and South Africa knocking out Italy? And these were not streaky results, they were completely deserved.
It's made for a wonderful tournament, and it will be a fascinating knock-out phase, with some new names alongside the old guard.
Join us again tomorrow for more coverage, as the group stage wraps up.
Jamaican joy
Just have a look at these images. Absolute scenes.
FULL-TIME: Panama 3 - 6 France
Well that was much more entertaining than expected. What it means, essentially, is that France top the group.
Goal France!
That's 6-3 if you're counting. Becho gets the goal.
90+3' Brazil with the last-ditch attempt
Jamaica almost score down one end, then Brazil counter and win a corner.
The goalkeeper comes up.
There's a scramble in the box! No, Spencer has it!
Only four minutes of stoppage time in Jamaica-Brazil
87' Panama scores again!
And break out into a group dance. They have enjoyed themselves at least. Lineth Cedeno scored the goal, heading in a rebound off the crossbar - but now VAR is checking. Don't ruin this VAR.
IT'S A GOAL!
86' Debinha shoots
She races onto the ball down the left and cuts in behind the defence. She uses theoutside of her boot to shoot at a really tight angle, but hard to beat the keeper from there.
Under 10 minutes to go for Jamaica to eliminate Brazil
Here's the live table.
82' Shaw blazes over!
Well well well. That would have been huge.
Brazil having to push forward now and that's leaving gaps at the back.
She raced onto a ball played from behind halfway, had to hold off her defender and get the shot away, but it was lifted too high.
Marta goes off
This could be her farewell to the World Cup stage.
If Brazil can't score a goal, it will be.
77' Jamaica doing well here
They are launching a few attacks of their own, which look quite dangerous as well. Much better idea than sitting back and allowing Brazil to come at them.
73' Brazil turning up the heat
Another corner, again it's well defended by Jamaica.
Brazil have about 20 minutes to find a winner here or they're out.
65' GOAL PANAMA!
Plucky Panama pulls one back. Pinzon buries it at the second attempt.
64' Penalty for Panama!
Pinzon takes it and scores ... but she is forced to take it again.
65' Corner for Brazil
Marta takes it.
It's short, played back to her, then she curls a cross to the far post. Jamaica clear it over the byline for another corner.
You reckon the South Africans are still partying?
Kadidiatou Diani comes off for France
Sometimes when I'm coaching my daughter's U6 side and we're winning by 8 or 9 goals, I'll take off our best player just to give the other team a chance.
