Oh what a start from the French! The Norwegians look shell-shocked.
It’s simple but effective. A swinging cross in from Amel Majri from the left is smashed straight in by Valerie Gauvin, who had stepped in front of Chelsea centre-back Maria Thorisdottir.

Goal : 54′ 1 – 1 (o.g.) Wendie Renard
OH MY WORD. What is she doing!? Of all the people, Wendie Renard…
It’s an absolute howler. A shocker. Quick, delete! Rewind!
A pretty harmless ball is sent in from the left and the French centre-back has nobody behind her. She either doesn’t get a shout, or doesn’t hear it, and ends up practically passing the ball into her own net.
It’s a comedy error and even Renard has to smile afterwards but that’s a big, big goal for Norway!

Goal : 72′ Eugenie Le Sommer (pen.) 2 – 1
Nicely done. BIG goal for Eugenie Le Sommer and a big goal for France. She thumps it into the keeper’s bottom right corner.
No saving that!
