Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Group E match between Switzerland vs France.

This is a stressful game, but perhaps not as stressful as Reda Maher's week.

Giroud has his shot saved, it bounces out to Valbuena who volleys towards the goal, but he hits the bar!

Penalty! Benzema drives towards the ball after standing in the area that Lichtsteiner should be, he tries a few tricks as he runs to the byline, and Djourou brings him down. A simple decision for the ref.

Another chance for Switzerland. They break forward with Shaqiri across Varane, he shoots from distance. Lloris palms the ball into the path of Shaqiri, who drags a shot across goal and just wide with Seferovic lurking.

Giroud brings down a high ball, lets it bounce once and flashes a volley from a fair way out well over the bar.

There's a heated debate between Sakho and Senderos, and Giroud clears the cross. It's volleyed back into the box, comes to Xhaka, and he hooks it into the goal. The problem for the Swiss is that France had cleared their lines and left him offside.

A cross for Switzerland on the right of the box. Shaqiri will take.

France break from right to left, and Benzema has an early shot from outside the box that Benaglio is down to save smartly.

This is a truly terrible joke.

Here's the scorer of the second, Baise Matuidi, who I think is the most improved French player of 2013-14. If he keeps on like this then he could be the best in the world in his particular position by 28.

Valbuena curls in a cross for Benzema to loop over the keeper, but his effort is wide, and he's been flagged for offside anyway.

Some textbook banter from Fitch.

GOAL! Switzerland 0-2 France. Matuidi scores the sescond and they all have a dance. Behrami's pass is intercepted by Benzema, he lays it off left to Matuidi, and he skids in a shot to the near post and the 'keeper is beaten.

GOAL! Switzerland 0-1 France. Giroud scores with a great header. Valbuena curls a corner towards the penalty spot, and just to the left, Giroud meets it firmly and thunders a header into the top corner, and Benaglio's despairing dive can't keep it out.

A last ditch dive from Djourou stos a cross getting to Benzema, and France have a corner.

France are playing the ball in defence, coming forward gradually. Giroud appears to have a load of bread for a haircut.

A Swiss counterattack falls to pieces when a passed aimed for Seferovic is intercepted.

This man makes a strong point.

Cabaye aims a loose crossfield pass to Debuchy. Mehmedi runs onto and so Debuchy scythes through him in an attempt to reach the ball, and is penalised for the foul.

10 minutes and no goals. Let's hope this ends up better than Italy vs Costa Rica, which was appalling.

Senderos is going to replace the clearly groggy Von Bergen.
