    France 5-0 Italy

    There is a VAR check. It was reckless but I've seen worse challenges. Not that that means much.

    Grace Geyoro is still getting treatment.

    Oh oh.

    Italy captain Sara Gama is shown a straight red card.

    France hat-trick hero Grace Geyoro knocks the ball past the defender on the wing and gets caught with a high boot and arm.

    France 5-0 Italy

    France's first attack in a while comes to nothing really. Both sides are probably happy enough with the 5-0 after that first half.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 60 mins

    France 5-0 Italy

    Italy do seem to have weathered that first-half storm as it were and they've probably matched France in this second half.

    Italy bring on Valentina Giacinti for Cristiana Girelli.

    Eight minutes without conceding again, that has to be a good thing for Italy.

    Scott Booth
    Former Birmingham City manager on BBC Two

    The mentality for Italy has to be to go and get the first goal of this half. They have to start from somewhere.

    The shape hasn't worked for Italy and they have given too much space away down the sides.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 53 mins

    France 5-0 Italy

    France 5-0 Italy

    Adam Millington: Italy are a very good side; for France to be strolling past them like this is a real statement of intent. That front three is seriously frightening.
