Like It Is

France 2 Togo 0. On one hand you could say that this result was as expected. On the other hand it was not an easy breeze-through as for the whole first half it was goalless. France could not afford this. They needed victory to ensure they would progress from Group G. They got their much needed victory from Viera and Henry in the 55th and 64th minutes. Togo put up a spirited defence which did manage to cause frustration to the French.  So, France, breathing a sigh of relief, are going to meet Switzerland, while Togo are going home.

Switzerland 2 South Korea 0.  With their 100% record of clean sheet wins from their three group games, Switzerland were determined to be winners, ensuring their place in the second round with a ballsy victory against South Korea. Switzerland will now meet the Ukraine in the second round.
