Brazil v USA Extended Highlights | 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup

Fantastic ovation for Brazil and the USA. Seats at a real premium here in Dresden. That'll be one back at the back of the US line. USA playing in all black for the first time in the tournament here and inevitably all eyes on Marta who has justified her five World Player of the Year titles. Brazil the only team yet to concede a goal here in Germany. Consistency in their lineup one of the significant reasons. Again only one change today. Diana restored in defense in place of Renata Costa. This 3-4-3 system rarely employed elsewhere but it works for them. Formiga and Eshtia with a solid spine. Cristiana, Rosana and Marta with mobility and most importantly the goals. USA the team to beat according to the latest world rankings. For the USA O'Reilly returning after a slight groin strain. She comes in for Rapinoe otherwise the team that played Sweden. Theo Sundhager talking about the importance of the flanks today. O'Reilly, Chaney, Key. The States with six different scorers so far despite all the attention on one back who along with Lupelbet is just one booking away from a ban. Formiga in strongly straight away on box looking here for Rodriguez. Consistency in personnel for both these teams through the group stages to this point. That's not the best of free kicks. Here's Rampo. Shannon Box is running in behind here. Oh it's a dangerous one. It's in. One minute 16 seconds gone. The States lead remarkably. A dreadful mix-up for Brazil. Well the ball bypassing one back came through for Box here and it's a a real horror of an own goal. It's a nasty slice. Well you have to say that's really unfortunate on Dayane. But what a start to this quarterfinal. Here's Fabiana, Cristiana. A wicked ball in. Müller slicing it awkwardly here. Back in by Esther. Still alive here. Esther for Brazil. Corner. Well the USA looked a little off balance there but Lupelbet in the right place to knock it behind. Once again they've got the giant presence of Alina around the back post here. Oh and there she is side netting. Well Alina towers above the rest of the players out there. One meter eighty. Solo misjudged it that time. Rosanna. Fabiana. Not the greatest attempted clearance there by the States. Fabiana after Rodriguez. Mistake of the crossbar. Well hope Solo was looking nervy and edgy there that's for sure. Rodriguez with the initial error and here Fabiana with what looked as if it was a cross rather than a shot but it was dipping wickedly. USA at the moment on course to meet France in Munchengladbach on Wednesday. Free kick USA. Cristiana's foul on Lloyd. Rapinoe to deliver here. Müller misses it. Oh it's off the crossbar. Carly Lloyd. What a great free kick. She might have been partially unsighted but she connected here so cleanly. Really hit the sweet spot there. Wambach. Not been too much joy in the match so far for Abby Wambach and again a sign of the respect in which she's held by Brazil. Mata. Oh brilliant. Mata goes down and the referee here making her mind up. There's a red card about to be shown and this is a huge call. It's a red card. Brazil with a penalty and Müller dismissed denying her a clear goal scoring opportunity. Mata with a lovely piece of juggling. They've each got a piece of each other there but Mata makes the appeal and gets the call. Müller sent off. Brazil penalty. Big moment in the match here. Cristiana. 25 minutes to go. It's a short run up. Cristiana. Saved by Solo. The US maintain the advantage. Oh what a save by Solo. It was such a short run up. It was a great height for a keeper in fairness but she still got across so smartly. Oh now what? The referee saying take it again. Oh and a yellow card for Solo for protesting. Oh it's all happening here now. Is it because she's off the line? Well not by much. Not by much. Well notably a change of penalty taker. Mata now. Mata for Brazil. 1-1. If at first you don't succeed try again but you have to say for the United States. Well for Hope Solo especially. What controversy. This time Solo goes the other way. Mata drills it. 1-1. That's the final action of the regulation 90. We have extra time on the way. Erika makes herself available just inside here. There she is to complete this Brazilian triangle. Oh and danger here. Hope Solo won't get there. Brazil lead. Mata. Well the USA can't complain about that one. Hope Solo beaten fair and square and Brazil for the first time in this quarterfinal in front. Watch her movement. It's patient. It's patient. It's patient. I think the pelvic may just have been playing them on side. Brazil sort of kept going when USA stopped but Mata kept going and hooked it cleverly past Solo. Mata who's now just one goal short of equalling big at Prince's record of 14 goals in FIFA Women's World Cups. The rhythm of Brazil starting to echo around Dresden. The stars and stripes of the USA struggling to find a way back here. They've got to use the ball better than that. It's come here for Wambach. Oh she's got it. Oh what a save by Andrea. Brazil careless. Gave the ball away. Wambach here. It was heading to the bottom corner. The fingertips of Andrea. Saving Brazil. Quickly into Lapelbet who goes down and there's a big roar from the USA fans. Nothing doing from the referee. That was the contact from Christiane in the penalty area on Lapelbet. Lloyd striding, stretching forward here for the USA. It has been a huge wholehearted effort from the States. Rapinoe. Wambach. That's what you call USA razzle-dazzle. Heart, spirit. Oh they've got it by the bucket load. What a finish. Abi Wambach. Wambach rises. Plants the header. If you wanted to go to anyone you wanted to go to Wambach. What a finish. The script really written for that lady. We are set for penalties. This is what it comes down to. It's Shannon Fox and it's saved by Andrea. She's a mile off her line. It'll be retaken. It's going to be retaken. She's a mile off her line. This time she finds the corner. 1-0 USA. Well here it is again. Christiane against Hope Solo. It's a quick one and it's 1-1. Solo going one way. Christiane not really giving her time to think. Next Carly Lloyd. Carly Lloyd. Oh really good penalty. Punches the air in delight. Crisp, firm and powerful enough to beat Andrea. It's Marta coming forward for Brazil now. Is there a little twist in the tail here? Five times FIFA's World Player of the Year. Facing up to Hope Solo. Marta scores. 2-2. No one's put a foot wrong yet. Well Abi Wambach came up with the, well almost the last touch of the 120 minutes. It's Wambach. Oh great kick. Great kick. She really means business. Diana whose own goal put the USA in front so early in the contest. She's already had one terrible moment tonight. Diana. Oh saved by Solo. Is that the moment for the USA? Diana's night goes from bad to worse. Well that gives the USA the advantage. They convert these next two. They are home and dry. Rapinoe. Megan Rapinoe the substitute for the USA. Oh it's 4-2 and they are now just one away. The critical moment of this FIFA Women's World Cup semi-final. 15. Franciela is the player who has to score. She has to score and does just. This is the moment. Alex Krieger. If she scores this the USA head for the semi-finals and knock out Brazil. Semi-finals. Here they come. The USA have pulled the rabbit from the hat and they have won the shootout 5-3. The number one ranked nation in the world has done the impossible and the USA are heading back to the final.
