LE HAVRE, France - France captain Amandine Henry came to the rescue as the hosts scraped into the women’s World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 win against Brazil after extra time on Sunday, setting up a likely clash with holders the United States.
Les Bleues struggled to make their early domination count due to the lack of a killer instinct that prevented them wrapping up victory inside 90 minutes.“It was a... very tense game against a formidable opponent but we did not give up and we wore them down,” said France coach Corinne Diacre. Les Bleues, however, lacked sharpness up front until the 26th minute when Gauvin fired home from Kadidiatou Diani’s cross, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review ruled the striker headed the ball out of goalkeeper Barbara’s hands.
Brazil came close to an equalizer four minutes later when France keeper Sarah Bouhaddi tipped a Cristiane header onto the bar.
