Hey, it was after the final whistle by the judge, but it was such a beautiful shot.

Had it counted, it would be Benzema’s 2nd goal in the game and France’s 6th, sending the Real Madrid and France striker top on his own in the race for the Golden Boot so far.

Apparently Switzerland is trying a late reaction here.

Gökhan Inler flights an awesome chipped ball in to Granit Xhaka, inside the box, and it’s just perfect for Xhaka converts a superb volley to reduce the deficit to just 3 for the Swiss.

This starts from the left with Cabaye, that finds Benzema in the middle. Number 10 makes a nice pass to Sissoko, that shoots right there in the left corner of the net in a beautiful finish.

Pogba in a beautiful move leaves Benzema in a one-on-one with Benaglio, that -once more- lets the ball in.

If the goalkeeper is not managing to make up for his mistakes, Benzema just made up for that lost penalty.

Guess being tall made one hell of a difference for Olivier Giroud, who towers higher than everybody at the box and gets a power header past Benaglio.

The assist was provided by Mathieu Valbuena from a corner kick.

Patriotically enough, Giorgio Chiellini takes one for the team and is knocked down.

Díaz gets the ball by the left and crosses straight to Ruiz’s head, that being completely free even among Italian defenders, shoots a header. Ball smashes in off the crossbar, but thanks to goal-line technology no questions about the legitimacy. 1-0 Costa Rica and as it stands, England are going home.
