France just got by Brazil yesterday in the Women's World Cup being hosted this year by Australia and New Zealand. The two sides squared off in Brisbane, and it was a tight game throughout.
France's Eugénie Le Sommer broke through first, scoring a goal in the 17th minute to give France the early edge.
However, Débora Cristina de Oliveira of Brazil managed to tie it early in the second half with her goal in the 58th minute.
Ultimately, however, veteran defender Wendie Renard scored the clinching goal in the 83rd minute to secure the win for France, putting them in first place for now in Group F, and with excellent chances of advancing to the knockout stage.
