France have got to play smart, hold on to the ball, draw fouls and see it out in a tight game.
A turnover in possession and you know Brazil have got the quality to do damage.

Can France hang on to this win? They have seven minutes of injury time to navigate to do so.

If it stays like this France will go top on four points, with Brazil on three.
Jamaica, with one point already, could then move above Brazil if they beat Panama later on today.

A shot from distance from substitute Lea le Garrec and a diving save from Leticia, and she grabs the ball.

Here comes Marta! Listen to that noise!
Is the fairytale finish in the script?
Post update
France 2-1 Brazil
A triple substitution for Brazil, including Marta coming on. She has 122 goals in 187 appearances for her country.
She's the top scorer in Women's World Cup history with 17 goals. How Brazil could do with her making it 18.
'How on earth is Renard unmarked?'

How on earth does Wendie Renard go unmarked from start to finish on this move?
The delivery is spot on into the area. It's the simplest of goals.
Textbook header past the goalkeeper. What a gift from Brazil to France. It's so preventable.

Renard didn't even break stride. Pockets of blue, which have been well hidden tonight, have exploded in Brisbane.
Now, what can Brazil do with six minutes of normal time left.
GOAL - France 2-1 Brazil
Wendie Renard
Wendie Renard was a doubt for the game, but the France captain gets what may well be the winner.
She's always a threat at corners, at 6ft 2in, and Selma Bacha's corner from the right is deep, Renard had ran around the back and is unmarked to head it into the net.
Poor from Brazil, but France won't care about that.

Enormous cheers from the Brazil fans as Marta's face is shown on the big screen, watching from the bench.
Will the 37-year-old icon have any say in the outcome of this game? Pia Sundhage has not turned to her yet.

This is a game where you could do with 11 minutes added on, like there was for Australia v Nigeria the other night.
We don't want this to end!

France 1-1 Brazil
Luana is gifted the ball, really sloppy from France, but Wendie Renard charges down the resulting shot for a Brazil corner. The corner goes all the way through and behind for a goalkick.
Brazil have brought on striker Bia Zaneratto, who scored in the win over Panama, with Adriana going off.
Brazil still have Marta up their sleeves, still waiting for her moment.

Sakina Karchaoui wins the ball and runs at the Brazil defence, but there's then a lack of decisiveness. She doesn't know whether to shoot or pass - and does neither.

Selma Bacha tries to catch out Leticia at the near post, but the shot from the French player goes into the side netting.

A hugely enjoyable match this one. Fifteen minutes plus injury time left. Don't go anywhere.

Almost a quick end to the Mexican Wave. Brazil have a free-kick from the left, Kerolin gets there at the near post before Pauline Peyraud-Magnin but can't flick the ball into the net, instead flicking it over.

I tell you what, if you're a local Australian fan living in Brisbane you are being treated to some atmospheres from various parts of the world.
England v Haiti, Australia v Nigeria, this barnstormer tonight and the Republic of Ireland play Nigeria here on Monday.
All absolutely electric.
