WUHAN, China -- Athens Olympics runners-up Brazil roared into the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup quarterfinals here on Saturday, upsetting hosts China 4-0 in their Group D second round match.

Brazil's Marta (L) beats China's goalkeeper Zhang Ying to score a goal during the group soccer match in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup at the Wuhan Sports Centre Stadium September 15, 2007. Brazil won 4-0. [Reuters]With a 5-0 win over New Zealand on Wednesday in the group opener, traditional soccer giant Brazil boast six points with nine clean goals and have definitely booked a berth in the quarterfinals.

China coach Marika Domanski-Lyfors said after the match, "Brazil is a very strong team with world-class striker Marta."

"We had two scoring chances in the first half but failed to convert them. And a fatal error led to the defeat," she said.

Brazilian coach Jorge Barcellos said, "The reason for the big win is that the Chinese girls failed to curb Marta."

"They arranged only one player to defend Marta, which was far from enough," he added.

Striker Marta vieira da Silva, who scored twice, was a nightmare for the Chinese girls tonight. Her incredible quick pace and dribbling skills smashed the Chinese defense.

Marta, 21, who won the FIFA Women's World Player of 2006 award, opened the Brazilian scoring by beating Chinese goalkeeper Han Wenxia in a solo run in the 42nd minute and driving the ball to the open goal.
