Wendy finished Selma Bacha’s assist after a corner with a downward header that left Brazilian goalkeeper Leticia helpless to secure all the 3 points for her nation after France started the tournament with a disappointing goalless draw vs. Jamaica in the past weekend.
Eugenie Le Sommer netted for Les Bleues in the 17th minute with a header.
Debinha scored for Brazil to tie the match in the 58th minute after a rebound after Kerolin’s shot. However, Renard had the final say in the match and secured all the points for the French national team as they remain undefeated after the first 2 matches, and Les Bleues are currently in 1st place in the group with 4 points.
That winning feeling! 😁
Three big points for France as they defeat Brazil. 👏@EquipedeFranceF | #FIFAWWC
