The Matildas remain in the hunt for Australias first Olympic football medal but face a mammoth quarterfinal showdown with Brazil.Australias women entered their final Pool F clash needing three points and seven goals to supplant Germany in second place and ensure a favourable final-eight match-up.They fell agonisingly short in Salvador on Monday but still secured their pathway with a 6-1 rout of Zimbabwe.The Matildas led 6-0 in the 66th minute and needed only to hit the back of the net once more to avoid a meeting with world No. 8 host nation Brazil, who beat them 3-1 in a pre-Games friendly.But a 91st-minute strike from Emmaculate Msipa means Australia will go through as one of the top two third-placed teams across the three groups and tread the more difficult road.Towards the end of the game we heard Canada were up so we were really trying to hit at least seven goals and put ourselves in the best position, co-captain Clare Polkinghorne told AAP.It was a bit disappointing that we let them get on the scoresheet, but at the end of the day we did what we had to do and we should be proud of that.The result came at a critical juncture of the Rio tournament.After a shock opening capitulation to Canada and a last-gasp draw with Germany, Alen Stajcics world No.5 Australians needed victory at Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova to rescue their campaign.They got the job done in dominant fashion, fuelled by solid set-piece play and a high-pressing game that caged Zimbabwe in their own half for large portions of the contest.Lisa De Vanna settled nerves with the opening goal in the second minute, banging in a lovely left-footer after Katrina Gorry knocked the ball across goal.Polkinghorne doubled the tally inside the 15-minute mark when Elise Kellond-Knights corner gave her the easiest of tap-ins.Zimbabwe became a little more enterprising with a few forays down the middle but it was short-lived as the world No.93 outfit wilted under pressure and soon succumbed a third time.Kellond-Knight lobbed in another well-placed corner to find the head of a leaping Alanna Kennedy before Kyah Simon made it 4-0 early in the second half via a superb first-time finish from Steph Catleys through ball.Substitute Michelle Heyman had been on the field only three minutes when she got in on the action with a header at the far post, in a goalmouth scramble that ended with Zimbabwe goalkeeper Chido Dzingirai being stretchered off.Heyman wasnt done, beating the offside trap from Emily van Egmonds pass and executing a neat finish, before Msipa scored in added-time.

MIAMI -- Jose Fernandezs last glorious act as a Miami Marlin was making friends of complete strangers.As several hundred grief-stricken Marlins fans gathered to see the hearse carrying Fernandezs body ride past Wednesday afternoon, they bonded over shared memories and personal observations. As one bearded Marlins fan in a No. 16 Fernandez jersey and teal cap told his neighbor, the pitcher had a smile that lit up a whole city.Early Sunday morning, Fernandez, 24, died in a boating accident along with two companions, Emilio Macias and Eduardo Rivero. Fernandez will be buried Thursday in a private ceremony attended by his family, teammates and Marlins employees. But Wednesday was a day for public mourning, as the fans who embraced him in life flocked to the ballpark to say goodbye.Several hundred brought flowers, waited in line to inscribe messages with black Sharpies on a stadium pillar, and celebrated the qualities that allowed Fernandez to hold South Florida in his grip over four seasons.Ive never seen someone take time out the way he did, signing autographs -- especially on the days when he was pitching, said Rick Gerena, a Marlins fan from Coral Springs, Florida. He was always talking to kids and parents. It almost felt like he was one of us out there. As a fan, losing him is devastating. It really is.At 2 p.m. ET -- right on schedule -- the motorcade carrying Fernandezs body assembled on Felo Ramirez Drive next to West Plaza at Marlins Park. As if on cue, black clouds passed over the stadium, and it began to rain at 2:01. But the rain quickly subsided, and fans lined up with their camera phones to commemorate the occasion. At precisely 2:16 p.m. (in honor of Fernandezs jersey number), the motorcade began to move, and fans chanted Jose! Jose! in unison.Marlins CEO Jeffrey Loria and club president David Samson stood alongside the front of the hearse, and a procession of teammates and club employees walked past. Several Marlins players wore sunglasses, even though the sky was dark.Fernandezs body was taken to a church in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami to receive a blessing, and then to St. Brendan Catholic Church in Miami for a public viewing from 5 to 11 p.m.The opportunity to say farewell to Fernandez was cathartic for many fans.Ralph Lopez, a television production manager from Long Beach, California, took a red-eye, cross-country flight Tuesday night to pay tribute to the pitcher. Lopez first saw Fernandez at Dodger Stadium on May 10, 2013, and was instantly smitten.He just had this swagger and this style, Lopez said. It was captivating. I bought the MLB package so I could follow him. I was jealous of the fans here because they got to see him all the time. I was going to come to a Jose Day to see him, but II never got the chance.ddddddddddddAfter the motorcade left the area -- among the stops it later made was at a Cuban restaurant Fernandez frequently ate at before games -- Marlins pitchers Tom Koehler and David Phelps stopped by to write personal messages at the West Plaza pillar, where hundreds of fans had said goodbye to Fernandez. The other Marlins soon followed and inscribed their goodbyes on a cement surface that had been painted orange.Marlins vice presidents Mike Berger and Jeff McAvoy and scouting director David Keller also came downstairs from their offices to pay their respects.Like so many others, they had come to regard Fernandez as a friend.Thats how Jose was, Keller said. He never met a stranger.It has been an emotionally wrenching week for Miami players since they learned of Fernandezs death, which forced the cancellation of Sundays game against the Atlanta Braves. The Marlins completed a three-game series with a 5-2 loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday and will finish the season this weekend in Washington.Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton estimated that he has slept a total of about six hours in the three days since Fernandez died.Its helped being together and talking about it, Stanton said. Talking about the good times he had with us, the times he pissed us off, everything. It helps to laugh when your emotions let you. Weve talked about how he would go and take batting practice, how he would go out there on the mound, everything.Each day brings another news development in the aftermath of Fernandezs death.On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio sought a safety probe into the rock jetty where a boat crash claimed the lives of Fernandez and his two friends. Rubio, a Florida Republican, sent a letter to the Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers asking for a review of the century-old jetty and whether it poses a chronic danger to boaters. The jetty, which extends out from Miamis port, is difficult to see at night, especially at high tide, Rubio said.As events continue to swirl around them, the Marlins are trying to come to grips with the magnitude of what theyve lost. Several Miami players remarked on what an emotional jolt it was to see Fernandezs coffin before the drive to the church.Youve got a 24-year-old whos on top of the world, and [suddenly] were walking behind his hearse, Koehler said. Were watching Miamis hero ride down the street. Unfortunately, everybody in this clubhouse is now connected by a bond that cant be broken.Were being forced to grieve in public. I appreciate every one of those fans that came out today and supported Jose and us. But it didnt make it easier. ' ' '
