Two goals from Wendie Renard to ensure France began their Women’s World Cup on a high as they thrash South Korea 4-0 in Paris.
Forward Eugenie Le Sommer fired in the first goal of the tournament in the ninth minute, centre-back Renard converted one header in the 35th and then another in first-half stoppage-time.
Captain Amandine Henry added a superb strike with five minutes of normal time to go. It was a dominant display from Corinne Diacre’s side against opponents who gave them very little to worry about.
