Only the referee's whistle could halt Les Bleus.
France routed Switzerland 5-2 at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador on Friday to take control of Group E at the 2014 World Cup. The scoring deluge began in the 17th minute when France striker Olivier Giroud, in the starting lineup after being used as a substitute in the previous match, headed a corner kick from Mathieu Valbuena past Switzerland goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. The lead was doubled less than a minute later when Blaise Matuidi beat Benaglio with a low shot after a pass from Karim Benzema.
France would jump out to a 5-0 lead before Switzerland pulled closer with a pair of late scores. Les Bleus seemed to have added a sixth goal in the closings seconds of the game when Benzema appeared to score with a brilliant right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area. The goal would not count as the official's whistle had ended the game just before the shot was taken.
