The Selecao almost found the leveler minutes later as Cristiane's powering header on Marta's cross rattled the crossbar.

Brazil kept piling on pressure and finally pulled the level back in the 64th minute as Debinha's cross from the left was only half-cleared by Wendie Renard. Thaisa followed to fire home with her left-shot.

The goal was initially disallowed for offside but VAR overturned that decision.

Tamires thought she helped Brazil take the lead on 86 minutes but that was correctly flagged offside.
