    Ross: To me it seems like France have very much wound back rather than Korea getting better.

    Wilfred: I think people are a bit harsh on South Korea on the two corners. Yes it wasn't the best of defending but Renard is at least a foot taller than the Koreans.

    France 3-0 South Korea

    A first sniff on goal from the South Koreans. Substitute Kang Chae-rim has a pop from long-range but it's always rising.

    That's much better though. France had stepped off a little and the space had opened.

    Thousands of the home fans use the torch light on their smart phones for illumination as they sing their national anthem, La Marseillaise, once again.

    One of the big things that has been a shame for the South Koreans is that so few of them play outside South Korea. There are one or two but the rest of them are coming against players that they don't know.

    France were destroying South Korea in the first-half but now they are beginning to cope with it a bit more by recognising what each player does.

    Ross Quinn: To me it seems like France have very much wound back rather than Korea getting better. The refereeing has been atrocious in that right wing.

    [For Player of the Match] You have got to have Wendie Renard in there but I think Amandine Henry has been fantastic. She has completely controlled the game from the centre of the park

    France 3-0 South Korea

    Delphine Cascarino is shoved off the ball by Jang Sel-gi and the South Korean left-back wins a free-kick.

    The crowd boo the referee again - and this time I'm with them. It was a friendly tussle. Play on!

    France 3-0 South Korea

    French keeper Sarah Bouhaddi, who has bags of experience, has her first touch of the game in the 63rd minute.

    She coolly collects a cross which is swung in from the right and sends the right-back on her way.

    France 3-0 South Korea

    This cross is a good one though. It's swinging in from the right and aimed towards Eugenie Le Sommer but it's good defending from the South Koreans, who squeeze out the space and don't allow her to get a run-up. It sails over her head in the end.

    France 3-0 South Korea

    Speaking of Lyon, one of the seven in the France squad - Amel Majri - has been lively all night.

    She's not quite got the delivery going though and another cross sails wide and out for a goalkick.

    France defender Wendie Renard has won the Champions League six times with her club Lyon since 2011, so is no stranger to the big occasion. At 28, she's at the peak of her career at the perfect time.

    She's on a hat-trick, and what would be France's first hat-trick at a Women's World Cup, and the 21st in the tournament's history.

    A third header from a corner would surely be unprecedented, though.

    France 3-0 South Korea

    The atmosphere is still pretty lively it seems. The French will be partying all night because unless anything drastic happens, they are cursing to an opening day victory in the World Cup on home soil.

    Amandine Henry, who was lurking on the edge of the box, eyes a goal when she volleys it from about 15 yards out but it's well held by the South Korean keeper.

    France have had 13 corners to South Korea's one.

    Kadidiatou Diani has got pace to burn but there has been no space in behind for her.

    She is helping her teammates though because she is dragging a lot of players back because of her pace.

    That creates more space behind her and really helps Eugenie Le sommer, Gaetane Thiney and Delphine Cascarino.

    France 3-0 South Korea

    France are peppering the South Korean goal again. Corner, after corner, but this time Wendie Renard doesn't get a look in.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 53 mins

    France 3-0 South Korea

    Young Kang Chae-rim replaces Kang Yu-mi. She's a bit more versatile and can hopefully get back and help out.

    South Korea are making an early change here. They need to do something!

    Tony: This is a bit of a mismatch.

    Shaun: Apparently Wendie Renard in English translates to "Peter Crouch"

    France 3-0 South Korea

    A lovely turn from Lee Young-ju deceives Amel Majri and she gives away a free-kick in midfield.

    The French supporters think she's been hard done by and they are merciless in their booing.

  20. Mbock Bathy denied by VARpublished at 21:10 British Summer Time 7 June 2019

    France 3-0 South Korea

    In case you missed it, here's the goal from Griedge Mbock Bathy that was ruled out for offside when France were leading 1-0.
