Many fans are calling it the proudest moment in Jamaica's football history. On Wednesday, the women's team, known widely as the Reggae Girlz, held Brazil to a goalless draw in the group stage of the Women's World Cup. That result means they advance to the second round, for the first time ever in the competition.

Cedella Marley is a Jamaican singer and entrepreneur and an ambassador for the Reggae Girlz. She's also the daughter of the Jamaican music legend, Bob Marley.

Back in 2014, after learning the Reggae Girlz had disbanded because they weren't receiving funding from Jamaica's football federation, she became a team benefactor. Weekend's Paul Henley has been speaking to her.

"It feels good. I think the girls put in the work that was needed... they are always in warrior mode."
