Check out this fourth France goal from Henry!

What a start for France. They were fantastic. They turned in a performance befitting of their status as one of the favourites for this Women's World Cup. In truth, they were do dominant that the scoreline doesn't quite reflect what we watched over the whole 90 minutes. So very impressive.

FULL TIME: France 4-0 South Korea
92'
This is now the biggest opening game win for a host nation at the Women's World Cup since 1991 (China). France have one minute left to claim that record for themselves and themselves only.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the match.

Henry has embodied the standard of this performance from France. They have dominated things from start to finish and she has been the one controlling the match in the centre of the pitch.

South Korea also make a change in light of the fourth goal, although it will be in vain at this stage.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! France 4 (85 mins - Amandine Henry) South Korea 0. Another wonderful goal from France who have kicked off their Women's World Cup campaign in style! Henry lined up the strike from 20 yards out and fired home a strike into the top corner of the South Korean net. What a goal!

Bouhaddi makes a save! That's the first time that the French goalkeeper has had to make a stop from a South Korean shot. However, Lee's effort was never really going to cause much trouble.
82'
Le Sommer is holding her ankle after a late tackle from one of the South Korean players. That will be a slight worry as the French attacker has struggled with injury of late. Hopefully not serious.
81'
This could have been a humiliating scoreline for South Korea. It looked likely at half time with France three goals to the good. But the second half has been something of a procession.
80'
What an atmosphere at the Parc des Princes!
79'
There has been more fight about South Korea in the last five minutes or so. They are pressing higher on France and forcing them to play their passes just that little bit quicker.
78'
Bussaglia shoots wide! That would have been a lovely fourth goal for the host nation. The passing play around the edge of the box was neat, but Bussaglia sends her effort wide.
77'
Big chance for South Korea! That would have given them a late lifeline. A mistake from Renard allowed Lee through on goal, but from a one-on-one position she sends her shot wide of the far post.
