Amandine Henry sends France into last eight with extra-time win over Brazil Globe_Sports

France survived its first knockout match and advanced to the quarter-finals when captain Amandine Henry redirected Amel Majri’s free kick for a tie-breaking goal in the 107th minute of a 2-1 victory over Brazil on Sunday night at Le Havre.“I didn’t remember what happened,” Henry said through a translator. “I had my teammates jumping on top of me.”

Valérie Gauvin, whose first-half goal was disallowed in a video review, put fourth-ranked France ahead in the 52nd minute before a crowd of 23,965 at Stade Océane, but Thaisa tied the score 11 minutes later for No. 10 Brazil. This marked perhaps the final World Cup game for 33-year-old Brazilian star Marta, a six-time world player of the year who scored a record 17 goals in five tournaments. And it likely was the last game in the showcase for 41-year-old Formiga, who appeared in a record seven World Cups.
