France Top Brazil in Extra Time to Reach 2019 Women's World Cup Quarter-Finals

France reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup after Amandine Henry scored an extra-time winner to beat Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16 on Sunday.

Valerie Gauvin had put the hosts in front after 52 minutes in Le Havre, but Thaisa's equaliser three minutes after the hour mark meant extra time was needed. Henry's winner means France await the winner of Monday's last-16 tie between Spain and defending champions the U.S.

What's Next?

France will face either Spain or the U.S. on Friday.
