Abby Wambach's climb to the peak of Women's World Cup scoring just got a little tougher. Brazilian striker Marta scored her 15th career Women's World Cup goal Tuesday, the most all time.

Wambach entered the tournament with 13 career World Cup goals, one shy of tying the scoring mark previously shared by Marta and Germany's Birgit Prinz.
