France captain Amandine Henry came to the rescue as the hosts scraped into the Women's World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 win against Brazil after extra-time.

Henry found the back of the net in the 107th minute of a tense game at the Stade Oceane after Thaisa had cancelled out Valerie Gauvin's second-half opener, with both opening goals going down to a VAR review.

Les Bleues struggled to make their early domination count due to the lack of a killer instinct that prevented them wrapping up victory inside 90 minutes.

The win sets up a clash with either holders USA or Spain on Friday.
