Benzema strikes two goals as France beats Honduras
France 3-0 Honduras
Benzema scored twice to ensure that France beats the 10 man Honduras. Benzema surely was star player who had help the Frenchmen to beat Honduras and top the league table.This dominant win for France surely help them in their next game against Switzerland.
France had started attacking from the start and looked to dominate their opponent. France looked strong throughout the game. Karim Benzema was the first to score in the French dominant match. The first goal came off a penalty just before the half time. Pogba was fouled in the penalty area by Palacios and got a second yellow card and was sent off. Benzema took the penalty and calmly placed it in the bottom left corner and put the French in the lead before half time whistle. Honduras clearly withstood the French attack in the first half and the goal which was conceded was due to a bad foul.
At end of first half France was leading by one goal.
France started to dominate the 10 man Honduras even more in the second half. The second goal was created by Benzema which caused a confusion in the stadium and to the coaches. At first Benzema took a left footed shot at the goal which hit the post and deflected of Valladares and went over the line. First the goal line technology had ruled it as no goal and called it as a goal creating confusion among the fans and the managers. The no goal was called when the ball hit the post but it seems that when Valladares made contact with the ball it hit him and went over the line, so it was called as a goal as the replays suggested. The Honduras manager still had a lot of confusion even after the end of the match.
France's attack was also very dominant in the second half, attacking at every opportunity. Finally, Benzema scored his next goal in the 72nd minute to completely seal the match. Valbuena takes the free kick and passes to Debuchy. Debuchy's drive wasn't able to break through the defence and got deflected to unmarked Benzema who fires it in the net and giving the France 3-0 lead in the game.
With that aggressive start from France they can easily top the table and be a serious competitors. Honduras was in deep trouble when they were reduced to 10 men by the end of first half. Their hope of winning or even a draw wasn't possible with 10 men. They weren't able to get possession or even control the play for small period. Honduras would be hoping to improve their next performance against Ecuador and fight for their place in the cup.
