    They can do better than they did in the second half, but it's a great start, a great signal to send out to their opponents. But I know the coach and she will be telling them now to just focus on the next game.

    A bit of a strange game in the end. Certainly hugely entertaining and France's quality of attack is to be feared but I don't think Italy will finish too disappointed. France may have stepped off after the break with the damage done but Italy did show some real quality going forward.

    It's all over. France win thanks to their five-star first-half performance.

    But Italy will take some confidence away from their second-half showing.

    Top work by Bacha.

    Six minutes added on. Probably mostly for that VAR check.

    Not going to lie, Sandy Baltimore is a great name.

    France's first chance since the first half but Selma Bacha pokes a shot wide at the far post.

    Shahan Miah: Thought all the entertainment would be in the first half. Then Italy see a red card reduced to a yellow by VAR, and then get a goal back...
