France defeated Brazil 2-1 in their second game in Group F at the FIFA Women's World Cup at Brisbane Stadium in Brisbane, Australia, on Saturday.

Eugenie Le Sommer scored first for France in the 18th minute, giving her side the lead early in the game. The team invested a lot of defensive resources in front of the box, making it difficult for Brazil to move the ball and launch an attack.

Brazil took advantage of the opponents' defensive carelessness in the second half when Debinha tied the score at 1-1 in the 58th minute. Brazil grew more comfortable on the offensive end since then, but they failed to mark all attackers of France in a corner kick in the 83rd minute. Wendie Renard broke into the box from the back and scored a header for France to lead again.

Brazil had the chance to tie the score again in the final minute of the stoppage time, but their final shot next to the penalty point was too poor to even fly toward the goal.

France rose to No. 1 in Group F thanks to Saturday's win with four points, the same as Jamaica that beat Panama 1-0 in the other game of Group F later on the day. Brazil are third with three points. Panama became the first eliminated team of the group. They will play France on August 2, while Brazil face Jamaica on the same day.

Sweden beat Italy 5-0 in their second game in Group G in the FIFA Women's World Cup at Wellington Regional Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand, earlier on Saturday. With the three points from this big win, Sweden have booked a spot in the Round of 16 of the tournament.

Four players scored the five goals for Sweden, with Amanda Ilestedt netting a brace. She scored the team's opener in the 39th minute. Then Fridolina Rolfo and Stina Blackstenius had two goals in three minutes before the end of the first half, turning the game into a long-gone conclusion.

Ilestedt and Rebecka Blomqvist added another two goals for Sweden in the second half. Their efforts enabled Sweden to extend their goal difference to +6, in comparison to Italy's -4. The other two teams, Argentina and South Africa, had a 2-2 draw on Friday, and both only have one point after two games.

Sweden will play Argentina on August 2, while Italy face South Africa on the same day. Sweden won't be eliminated even if they lose to Argentina. Italy can advance to the Round of 16 as long as they don't lose to South Africa.
