Key Points
Captain Wendy Renards header seven minutes from time earned France a dramatic 2-1 win over Brazil at Brisbanes Lang Park on Saturday as they picked up their first win in Group F of the Womens World Cup...
Renard met Selma Bachas corner with a firm downward header that bounced back up off the turf and beyond goalkeeper Letcia to give the French all three points after opening their campaign with a 0-0 draw against Jamaica last Sunday...
A free kick and a last chance for Brazil, who load the French box.. 90 min +6: Becho and Perisset combine nicely down the right, France once again winning a throw deep in Brazilian territory..
Brazil make the mistake of leaving Wendie Renard unmarked in the box during a France corner. 82 min: Becho has certainly turned up for work since coming on, and her persistence wins a corner for France down the right..
Before it was taken, Bia Zaneratto who put the finishing touch to that team goal against Panama - replaced Adriana.. 79 min: More end-to-end shenanigans as first Diani powers a shot from the edge of the box thats smothered by Leticia, then Luana curls towards the top right only for Renard to deflect out for a corner.. 77 min: Brilliant play by Karchaoui, who strips Ary Borges of possession and barrels down the middle of the park..
