France beat Jamaica 8-0 in their final match ahead of the start of the World Cup in Brazil.

France have thrashed Jamaica 8-0 in their final international friendly ahead of the World Cup in Brazil.

Jamaica tried to put their opponents under pressure early on from a free kick, with Michael Seaton attempting to head in at the near post, but his finish did not trouble Hugo Lloris.

France soon started to dominate the possession and were able to break the deadlock 17 minutes into the match when Yohan Cabaye rounded a defender before sliding the ball into the back of the net.

Blaise Matuidi doubled their advantage just three minutes later, collecting the ball from a Karim Benzema cross before drilling it in low for France's second.

Benzema managed to score a goal of his own before the end of the first half, winning the ball on the edge of the box before curling it into the top corner.

Jamaica enjoyed a strong spell of possession at the start of the second half, but Didier Deschamps's men soon had the ball again, and made it 4-0 when another well-placed cross from Benzema fell for Olivier Giroud to force it in off the post.

Warren Barrett stopped Rafael Varane from making it five shortly after, tipping the ball over as the midfielder looked to head in, but Benzema added his second of the night moments later from the resulting corner.

Matuidi sealed his brace just three minutes later, hitting his strike on the half-volley following a ball forward from Patrice Evra.

Benzema had a chance to complete his hat-trick in the 71st minute, but his strike bounced back off the underside of the crossbar.

Antoine Griezmann came off the bench in the second half and was able to add to the score, controlling the ball well with his first touch before firing it under Barrett.

He then added his second in the final minute of the game with a tap in from close range to complete the rout.
