    GOAL - France 3-0 Italypublished at 39 mins

    Delphine Cascarino

    Now that's a goal.

    A dreamy finish from Delphine Cascarino, who gets the ball near the corner of the box, cuts inside and hammers in a thunderbolt that the keeper can't get near.

    The last 10 minutes of the game has developed into a possession exercise for France.

    Bossing that midfield.

    France's Grace Geyoro digs out a shot from 20 yards but it's a straightforward save for the Italy keeper.

    Italy are leaving spaces and France are exploiting them. There's no doubt that they have real pace up front so they can play the long ball over the top or can play on Katoto's feet. So many options.

    A terrible first touch denies Italy forward Valentina Bergamaschi a break on goal.

    Italy just can't defend Kadidiatou Diani. The france livewire tries just one trick too many in the box to get past her third defender before eventually losing it.

    A number of concerning attempts to get a Mexican wave going here. It stops short of completing a full lap of the stadium, prompting boos, but I fear it is only a matter of time.

    Really don't know how this doesn't go in? Real chance again coming from the right side and you got to finish it.

    France's Delphine Cascarino cuts in from the left wing and shoots wide.

    Her Wikipedia page goes to pains to point out she's not related to former Republic of Ireland striker Tony.

    Kadidiatou Diani has been a real livewire so far and Italy are struggling to work out how to cope with her.

    Lisa Boattin has the unfortunate task of trying to contain her but any time she let's her concentration slip on that left flank, Diani is away and pinging in dangerous crosses.

    Contain Diani and Italy might have a chance of at least stopping the flow of goals.

    This is Italy’s 12th Women’s European Championship, only missing the 1995 event. The only other nation to feature at 12 Euros are Norway.

    Kadidiatou Diani whips in a lovely low ball which Italy can't defend (again) and two French players are inches away from scoring.

    Italy have had a couple of attacks themselves.

    Cristiana Girelli's deflected cross is palmed away by Pauline Peyraud-Magnin.

    Three France players are in a line at the back post but can't tuck a shot in. Another escape.

    It looks messy and don't look like Italy are dealing with it. Poor defending yet again against a world class winger.

    Have to be more patient than that and have to wait and try to hold up play and get some help.

    This could be a big score. Kadidiatou Diani has a shot blocked and France have a corner.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17 mins

    France 2-0 Italy

    Italy's Lisa Boattin is booked for a foul and France have a free-kick 35 yards out. Luckily they can't do anything with it.

    France 2-0 Italy

    Italy are not very good at defending.

    Kadidiatou Diani's cross is headed across by a French attacker to Marie-Antoinette Katoto. She heads the ball but it lacks power and two Italians just watch as it strikes the post.

    A huge escape.
