Fancy footwork is a Brazilian tradition, and Erika produced some samba skills to lead her team to a 3-0 win over Equatorial Guinea yesterday in Frankfurt.
The South Americans secured the top spot in Group D and will play the United States in the quarterfinals in Dresden, Germany, Sunday.
After the African outsiders neutralized the heavy favorites with dogged defending for 49 minutes, Erika controlled a loose ball on her chest, then tapped it from her right foot to the left to send a volley flying past goalie Miriam from 13 yards.
