Wolfsburg, Germany (Sports Network) - Marta showed once again why she is the best womens player in the world Sunday. The reigning five-time world player of the year had two goals and an assist as Brazil rolled to a 3-0 win over Norway in Group D to seal a quarterfinal berth in the Womens World Cup. Marta opened the scoring at Volkswagen-Arena in the 22nd minute, assisted on a goal from Rosana in the opening minute of the second half, and then scored her second in the 48th. Thank God Marta is Brazilian, Brazil coach Kleiton Lima said. Marta was the leading scorer in the 2007 event with seven goals, and is tied for second all-time with 12 goals. Germanys Birgit Prinz is the top scorer in World Cup history with 14 goals, but has yet to score in two games. Marta may overtake Prinz before the tournament ends, but the true prize is the World Cup trophy. Germany defeated Brazil in the 2007 final, and has won back- to-back titles. We are pleased to qualify for the next stage. We have a long [way] to go but we will keep up our hard work, Marta said. Our aim is to get to the final and be crowned champions. Four years ago, Marta had a penalty kick saved in the final game, a 2-0 defeat to Germany. But if Sundays performance by the 25-year-old is a sign of things to come from Brazil, she might get another shot on July 17. Marta scored her first goal with a brilliant individual effort, as she nudged Norway defender Nora Holstad Berge on the right wing to reach a long pass from Erika, then drove into the area against Maren Mjelde. After getting Mjelde on the ground after a failed tackle, Marta moved into the open space and drove a low shot inside the right post. Marta took a blow to the head later in the half when she fell and her head hit the ground, but she shook off the pain and then inflicted it on Norway. Less than a minute into the second half, Marta gained possession near midfield and drove into the left side of area, where played a pass across to the right side to an open Rosana, who converted for her second goal of the tournament. Before Norway could figure out what happened, Marta added a third goal with an easy finish off an rebound. Brazils Christiane hustled to force a turnover in Norways box, and her shot deflected to Marta. Marta dribbled into space and scored from 12 yards, as she tied United States legend Michelle Akers for second all-time on the World Cup scoring list. It was impossible [to stop Marta], Norway coach Eli Landsem said. Brazil extended its undefeated streak in group play to 11 matches and will win the group with at least a tie against Equatorial Guinea, which was eliminated with Brazils win, on Wednesday. Brazil could even win the group with a loss. Norway needs to beat Australia in its last group game to advance. Australia is currently level on points with Norway, but leads on goal differential - which is the first tiebreaker. Norway has never been eliminated after group play. nfl jerseys china . -- Ryan Getzlaf and Jonas Hiller propelled the Anaheim Ducks into the second half of their season with the NHLs best record and ample reason to think they could get even better in the new year. cheap jerseys .

He will play fifth-seeded Tommy Robredo of Spain, who overcame No. 2 Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-3, 2-6, 6-4. Fognini brushed aside Monfils in the first set, losing just 10 points, but then made a number of unforced errors in the second as the Frenchman levelled the match. Fognini then jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the third set before Monfils fought back again. The Frenchman saved two match points when trailing 5-3, but then wasted three of his own at 6-5. Fognini trailed 2-0 in the tiebreaker before recovering to reach his first Croatia Open final and stay on course for a third title in as many weeks after winning in Stuttgart and Hamburg. Fognini now has 13 singles victories in a row. He reached tthe semis in Umag in 2008 and 2011.dddddddddddd "I started really solid at the beginning, but slowed down in the second set," he said. "It will be my third final in a row, I will try to win. I am tired, but mentally I go for the third title." Robredo failed to convert any of his five break points in the second set against Seppi, but broke early in the third to take a 2-1 lead. He clinched the win when a long rally ended with a backhand error by Seppi. "This was tough match, with long rallies," Robredo said. "We actually always play long matches. I am glad that this one went to my side." Robredo reached his second final of the year and has a 3-1 head-to-head record against Fognini by 3-1, winning all matches on clay. "We know each other very good," Robredo said. "He did not lose a match this month, but Ill try my best, go for his weaknesses." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
