France beats Switzerland 5-2
Goal Scorers
For France -Olivier Giroud(17),Blaise Matuidi(18),Mathieu Valbuena(40),Karim Benzema(67)and Moussa Sissoko(73)
For Swiss - Blerim Dzemaili(81) and Granit Xhaka(87)

Switzerland's Blerim Dzemaili is the first player to score a goal from a direct free-kick at the 2014 World Cup  

Goals from Olivier Giroud, Blaise Matuidi, Mathieu Valbuena, Karim Benzema and Moussa Sissoko saw Ottmar Hitzfeld’s team destroyed in Salvador and promoted France to genuine title contenders

The only other time France won both their opening games at a World Cup was in 1998, and we know what happened after that.

Olivier Giroud leaps with dominance from a corner to score France's opening goal
Blaise Matuidi picks up the ball on the break from Karim Benzema and finishes with aplomb

Benaglio goes the right way to save Benzema's spot-kick
 Mathieu Valbuena latched onto a low cross from Giroud following a slick counter-attack
Karim Benzema scored France's fourth with this finish between Benaglio's legs


France seeks to reach a third final in five World Cups, now have six points, with a match against Ecuador on  June 25,2014 to come
Olivier Giroud's goal, the 100th France have scored in World Cup finals, set his team on their way, the Arsenal forward leaping high above the Swiss defence to direct an unstoppable header into the net. 

This was the third 2014 World Cup group game staged in Salvador, and already the Arena Fonte Nova has seen 17 goals. It was the scene of Spain's 5-1 humiliation by Netherlands on 13 June, while Germany beat Portugal 4-0 at the same ground three days later.
