When Wendie Renard sent her late re-taken penalty into the top corner to earn hosts France a 1-0 win over stubborn Nigeria, it sparked "confusion" and "bemusement" on social media. One BBC Sport reader even described it as "daylight robbery". Wendie Renard scored an own goal in France's previous match against NorwayBut VAR intervened, judging 18-year-old Super Falcons keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie to have moved off her line early. But some BBC Sport readers believed the second penalty should have been retaken as well. Through more live women's sport available to watch across the BBC this summer, complemented by our journalism, we are aiming to turn up the volume on women's sport and alter perceptions.
