Benzema takes a first time shot from a pass infield, and rifles it into the net, but it's fractions after the whistle. That's full time.

There's a minute left now, but this game is obviously over.

Yohan Cabaye is booked for a rough tackle on Dzemaili, presumably for vengeance, and is booked for it.

GOAL! Switzerland 2-5 France. Xhaka scores. A ball over the top finds Xhaka, who turns in a well timed volley at the near post.
85'
Lichtsteiner tries to cross from the byline but Koscielny blocks for a corner. It's taken short, and eventually cleared.

GOAL! Switzerland 1-5 France. Dzemaili strikes a shot under the legs of Benzema, and it takes Lloris by the surprise. The comeback is on.
80'
Koscielny gives away a foul on Shaqiri about 35 yards out.
77'
Lloris fists away a Xhaka corner.
76'
Right, a lot has happened. Dzemaili almost broke Matuidi's leg with a stupid challenge, and France have had about four shots, some from Valbuena, and it's very, very busy.

GOAL! Switzerland 0-5 France. Sissoko scores. Inler loses the ball, the ball is worked to Benzema in the centre. He sends the ball right for Sissoko, who drills into the far corner to make it five.

Patrice Evra runs onto Valbuena's through ball and instead of using his right foot as would be sensible, he sends a shot well over with the outside of his left.

Sakho is replaced by Koscielny.

I reckon this has been photoshopped. Meanwhile, a cross from the right is missed totally by Debuchy, it comes to Mehmedi, and Lloris sprints out of the goal, rushing the Swiss into volleying miles over.

But it's not cleared adequately and Valbuena takes a few touches inside the box, lays it off to Benzema, and his shot is delfected just over.
59'
France are happy to hold onto this lead, but now Evra breaks forward, the ball is moved wide, but the cross to Giroud is cleared.
58'
A good effort from Dzelaili. He has time and space on the edge of the D, but sends the shot comfortably wide.
