France end hosts' hopes

France sealed top spot in Group B with a fine 3-0 victory against the hosts to take maximum points from their three matches. Switzerland go out after winning one and losing two of their matches.

French changes
The scoreline was tough on the Swiss, who had some excellent goalscoring chances and kept the score to 1-0 until the final 13 minutes. Nevertheless, France had too much firepower despite leaving five regulars on the bench including top scorer Marie-Laure Delie and now play Denmark on Wednesday in the semi-finals.

Sarrasin miss
The Swiss needed a win to have any realistic chance of reaching the semi-finals, and showed positive intent from the start. Maeva Sarrasin had their best chance of the first half, but she could not beat France goalkeeper Véronique Pons when through one-on-one. Meanwhile, Hélène Plu had a goal disallowed and then headed over for France. Delie and Nora Coton Pélagies came off the bench for France early in the second half and they helped the favourites to exert increased control over the game.

Meyer chance
Just before the hour mark the breakthrough came, when Jessica Houara shot high into the net from 20 metres. Sixteen minutes from time Isabelle Meyer was presented with a superb opportunity to equalise when alone in front of goal, but she took too much time and allowed French centre-backs Livia Jean and Maryse Gobert to get back and deny her.

Delie pounces
Chloé Mazaloubeaud made it two on 76 minutes when she headed in a Inès Dhaou corner from the French right. As Switzerland poured forward, Delie capitalised at the other end to score her fourth goal of the tournament.
