A controlled match and a slap in the face in Italy.
This is how the French team started their Women's Euro in England.
After the draw between Iceland and Belgium (1-1), Corinne Deacon's Bleues had the opportunity to take control of Pool D. It's done and how.
France outclassed Italy in their opener and handed them a heavy 5-1 defeat.
At the break, the French team even led up to 5-0.
Grace Geyoro scored a hat-trick (9th, 40th and 45th), Marie-Antoinette Katoto (12th) and Delphine Cascarino (38th) are the other two French scorers.
