    Women’s World Cup: Renard Heads Late Winner As France Beat Brazil

    By EditorJuly 30, 2023
    Renard

    CAPTAIN Wendie Renard headed a late winner as France beat Brazil in a thrilling game in Brisbane at the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup.

    Eugenie le Sommer put the French ahead after 17 minutes, before Debinha pulled Brazil level in the second half.

    There was end to end action as two of the pre-tournament favourites delivered a game which lived up to expectations.

    But it was Renard – who had been an injury doubt – who headed in the decisive goal with seven minutes to go.

    “She is the leader of the team,” France manager Herve Renard said of his captain. “If she was not able to play today then it wouldn’t be the same. We were lucky to have her today.”

    Brazil would have qualified for the last 16 with victory but instead must wait until the final matchday to try to book a knockout spot.

    Pia Sundhage’s side meet Jamaica in their final group match, while France take on Panama. Both games will be played on 2 August, kicking off at 11.00 BST.

    Following a disappointing draw in their opening game against Jamaica and fitness concerns for key players – in particular Renard, who started having been touch and go with a calf problem – this was a make or break game for France.

    The stakes were further heightened by a frenetic atmosphere in Brisbane, where the overwhelming majority of fans were in the yellow shirts of Brazil. When the Brazilian anthem was sung, you could have closed your eyes and imagined you were in the Maracana.

    But France rose to the challenge, as their two on-pitch leaders – Renard, and all-time top scorer Le Sommer – took charge.
