France eased into the quarter finals of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup with a 3-0 win over South Korea, setting up a mouth-watering tie against Germany.

Philipee Bergeroo made just one change to his side that beat Mexico, with Louisa Necib returning to the line-up to replace Amel Majri.

The Asian side went for three alterations to their starting team, despite beating Spain to qualify for the last sixteen, with Kim Soo-yun, Lee Geum-min and Kim Do-yeon came in for Kim Hye-ri, Ji So-yun and Hwang Bo-ram.

Delie and Thomis strike early on

France started like a house on fire once more, and were soon rewarded for their early pressure. Marie-Laure Delie, who had netted within 35 seconds in the last game, was the beneficiary of a wonderful team goal.

Laure Bolleau and Camille Abily were at the heart of the move. The latter played a one-two with Abily, before cutting back to Diele. The Paris-Saint Germain forward scuffed her shot but managed to get enough on it to trickle past Kim Jung-mi.

The Koreans were shell-shocked and even though they had a decent chance to equalise, it soon became two-nil.

Elodie Thomis netted this time, in what was another well-worked team goal. She picked the ball up out wide and drove inside, exchanging passes with Eugenie Le Sommer as went on. Thomis finished with aplomb after collecting the return ball, Kim J helpless.

French onslaught halted, South Korea come back into the game

South Korea's 'keeper was in the wars in the opening quarter of an hour, after catching an elbow from her team-mate. After a five minute delay, Kim J was eventually able to continue - in spite of a black eye.

The injury seemed to halt France's dominance and South Korea came back into the game. Sarah Bouhaddi continued to look worryingly nervous in goal, especially from aerial challenges. Thomis and Le Sommer both had great chances add to their tally, but seen good chances fly just wide.

Neither side managed to trouble the opposing defence, with the tempo gradually dropping off, towards the end of the half. France were seemingly satisfied with their two-goal lead.

While the end of the first-half was slow and sluggish, the second half was a carbon copy of the first few minutes.

France and Delie straight after the restart

Delie, again, scored within seconds of the half starting. Le Sommer sped to the by-line, leaving the Korean defence for dead. She cut the ball back to her strike partner and Delie made no mistake in sweeping it under Kim J.

That seemed to kill the match once and for all, which had lost the early pressure and drive from both sides.

France were continuing to dominate, however, and Bouhaddi was merely a spectator for large periods of the game.

Despite being three-nil down, the South Korean defence continued to repel attack after attack - Shim Seo-yeon looked particularly impressive.

Bouhaddi almost gifted the Koreans a way back into the game with a poor clearance, only to produce an immaculate save to keep her clean sheet in tact.

Their was a late concern over Bolleau's knee as she landed heavily but was, thankfully, able to continue.

Salome di Iorio sounded the final whistle and, in spite of the result, South Korea could be very proud of what they'd achieved in the tournament.

For France, they'd set up the quarter-final everyone had been waiting for. Their game against Germany is one no-one will want to miss.
