    You don't know where to look!

    France 1-1 Brazil

    A change for both sides. Andressa replacing Geyse for Brazil, with French goalscorer Eugenie le Sommer going off, replaced by her Lyon team-mate Vicki Becho.

    Grace Geyoro has an effort at goal, it is straight at Leticia but she opts to push it over the top when she could've caught it.

    Close your eyes, and you could be in the Maracana.

    It's bouncing out there. Ary Borges comes more central.

    Lucky little ricochet but what a finish from the most experienced of players in that front line, Debinha.

    The execution is faultless. A beautiful bit of play really.

    Confidence oozing out of Brazil.

    GOAL - France 1-1 Brazilpublished at 58 mins

    Debinha

    Brazil get a massive slice of luck as France have loads of bodies back in their own penalty area, but Kerolin's pass takes a deflection to fall perfectly for Debinha.

    But the Brazilian number nine then does excellently to calmly finish past Pauline Peyraud-Magnin and spark huge celebrations in Brisbane.

    Brazil are working hard to win it back but when they do, they aren't making it stick.

    They're not stringing more than two or three passes together.

    Herve Renard is standing as majestic as ever on the touchline, with his now iconic white open-collared shirt.

    If things stay as they are, he'll have beaten Argentina and Brazil in the space of nine months at two World Cups.

    That's not a bad record to have in your back pocket.

    The samba sounds certainly faded out as the first half has progressed and have yet to fire up again.

    You can tell that the Brazilian fans, who are in Australia in huge numbers, are waiting for that one moment to spark their party - and tournament - back into life.
