France have made a perfect start to their Brazil 2014 campaign with a Karim Benzema-inspired 3-0 win over ten-man Honduras. The Real Madrid striker scored twice and had a large hand in another as Les Bleus moved to the top of Group E with an emphatic victory at Porto Alegre's Estadio Beira-Rio.

據國際足聯官網6月15日報道，法國巴西世界杯之旅完美開局，本澤馬梅開二度，終以3比1完勝洪都拉斯隊。皇馬前鋒進兩球，助攻一球使得法國隊在阿萊格里港貝拉里奧球場強勢勝出，問鼎E組。

However, while the final scoreline may suggest a mismatch, this was a game that hung in the balance until turning on Wilson Palacios's 43rd-minute red card. Blaise Matuidi had come closest prior to that pivotal moment, forcing a superb, instinctive save from Noel Valladares, who tipped the French midfielder's stabbed shot on to the top of the crossbar.

盡管最后的比分懸殊，但直至43分鐘，威爾森·帕拉西奧斯被出示紅牌，賽場才出現轉折。馬泰迪幾近破門，關鍵時刻巴拉亞達雷斯做出本能反應，將法國中場射向死角的球撲出。

That same duel, between keeper and striker, was to be reprised shortly after the restart - and again it ended in agony for the former. This time, Valladares endured the indignity of scoring an own goal, spilling the ball over the line in his attempts to gather a Benzema volley that had rebounded off the inside of the post.

下半場開戰不久守門員與前鋒再次交鋒，終令守門員懊惱不堪。本澤馬攻球擊中門柱彈至達雷斯手上彈入門內，達雷斯送上一粒烏龍球，懊悔難當。

And while there was an element of revenge when the Honduras captain denied his nemesis a second goal seven minutes later with a superb point-blank save, no-one was going to prevent France's No10 from stealing the headlines. With 18 minutes remaining, Benzema secured the win - and pole position in Group E - with the pick of Les Bleus' goals, smashing an unstoppable shot into the net from an acute angle after Mathieu Debuchy's initial effort had been blocked.

雖然洪都拉斯隊長七分鐘后又有一個完美撲救，但也無法阻止法國隊10號本澤馬登上頭條。倒數18分鐘法國隊本澤馬鎖定勝局，以勢不可擋之勢抽射得手，法國隊領跑E組。

France will now march on to face neighbours Switzerland, who also began with a win, while Honduras will aim to get off the mark against the section's other pointless team, Ecuador.

法國隊將與同樣開局獲勝的瑞士隊對戰，而洪都拉斯隊與本組另一支零分球隊厄瓜多爾比賽，志在一洗本場賽果。
