The Women's World Cup is OFFICIALLY under way. Let's see whether hosts France can see off the challenge of South Korea in Group A!

That's where Renard poses a threat. France win a corner kick and get the tall centre back up from the back. Majri's delivery into the penalty box is cleared from danger, though.

Henry is the one who is picking up the ball off the toes of the central defenders and driving it forward. Of course, it was her pass that set up the opener for Le Sommer. Great player.

That was a waste. South Korea won a corner kick, their first of the match, but Jung puts her tame delivery into the side netting. They need to make more of those set piece opportunities.

France have so much threat in the wide areas. They are dominating so much of the ball that Torrent and Majri are being allowed to surge high up the pitch in their roles as full backs.

South Korea just don't have an out ball at the moment. They are looking to play the ball into Jung as the lone forward, but France, particularly Renard, are just crowding her out.

There is quality all the way through this French team. From back to front, they have the look of tournament frontrunners. South Korea will have a tough job breaking down their defence.

South Korea look very nervous at the back. They are now taking the opportunity to knock the ball around the defence, but France are forcing them into mistakes with the high press.

This has been a hugely impressive start from France. They are certainly living up to their tag as joint favourites for this tournament. This could be a long evening for the South Koreans.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! France 1 (9 mins - Eugenie Le Sommer) South Korea 0. It's an opening goal for the host nation and it's a beauty! The pass from wide down the right by Henry was perfect and Le Sommer smashes a finish into the back of the net off the underside of the crossbar! France are up and running.

Strong start from the hosts - they've already had a couple of shots and they are dominating possession.
