Another blistering performance by les bleus stunned the Swiss with a 5-2 hauling.
In the first half it was all France, Oliver Giroud opened the scoring for France with a headed effort from the corner in the 17th minute.
67 seconds later , Matuidi scored placing the ball past Benagl, the Swiss man between the sticks,after a quick counter attack initiated by Cabaye.
It was not late until France scored a third via Valbuena who latched on to the cross by Giroud from the left flank , who tapped home from 3 yards out, in the 40th minute.
It seemed like France would stop there, but soon into the second half, Benzema scored capitalizing on a defensive error by former Arsenal man Senderos, which went between the legs of Benagl to make it 4-0 to les bleus.
And soon after in the 73rd minute Sissoko placed the ball into the a far corner perfectly , assisted by Benzema.
The scoreline was very dominating and demonstrative, but the Swiss pulled one back through a Dzemaili free kick which went through the wall and beyond the reach of Hugo Lloris into the bottom left hand corner. This goal was supposed to be a mere consolation for the Swiss but they hit back again with a superb ball into the path of Xhaka , who made no mistake and slotted the ball home, making it 5-2, the final score.
Benzema was robbed off the second goal ,the soon he hit the ball , the referee blew the final whistle and the ball was in the back of the net, but not counted.
A 7 goal thriller with all 7 different goal scorers, a brilliant team performance by France who are one of the contenders to win the cup. The French fans were ecstatic and Seven nation army was sung with more intensity and jubilation. This world cup has been by far the mother of all unpredictable world cups.
