Euro 2016 hosts France took on Iceland on Sunday night for a spot in the semi-finals of the competition.
A devastating first-half performance from the home nation saw Olivier Giroud, Paul Pogba, Dimitri Payet and Antoine Griezmann register to all but end the quarter-final ahead of the second period.
Iceland had one back through Kolbeinn Sigthorsson in the 56th minute, but Giroud scored his second of the night three minutes later for 5-1.
There was to be one more goal, however, and it came for Iceland as Birkir Bjarnason headed home at the far post in the 84th minute of action.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
