Brazil take on the USA in their Women's World Cup quarter-final clash at the Glucksgas-Stadion in Dresden.

The two-time World Cup winners have a free kick in the Brazil half. Wambach attacks the ball with real conviction and heads it towards goal. Andreia punches it for a corner.

Marta plays a cross-field pass over the top of the USA defence, that too is over hit and Fabiana fails to keep it in touch.

Krieger does very well down the left. She tricks her way past Formiga before attempting to play in Cheney. Diane comes across to cut it out.

The Mexican wave is making it around the arena in Dresden. As it does Aline attempts an audacious long ball to Fabiana but the pass is over hit and it runs through to solo.

Brazil retain possession in their own half. They're knocking it around their back-four well, looking for a space to open up.

Rampone mis-judges the flight of the ball, allowing it to bounce over her. Marta chases the ball down but Solo is off her line quickly to clear. Good goalkeeping.

Wambach is pulled back half-way into the Brazilian's half. Cheney takes it quickly and lofts it into the Brazil box. Aline clears with a volley.

Boxx loses control of the ball and lunges towards the onrushing Roasana in an attempt to retain possession. The Brazilian gets there in front of Boox and wins a free kick.

Brazil don't seemed fazed by the early set back. Erika surges down the right before crossing. Krieger fails to clear but Solo manages to gather.

GOAL!! What a start for the USA. Wambach runs away claiming the goal but it looks like it's come off Daiane. Boxx centers from the left and the Brazilian defender slices past her keeper into her own net.

Rodriguez does very well down the right flank before drawing the foul.

USA get the game under way.
