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
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.
