2017 U-20 World Cup round-up, Group E, round 2: France puts four past Vietnam; New Zealand knocks over Honduras

Group E is expected to send France and another team or two into the knockout rounds. No change to that expectation after two rounds of the group stage of the 2017 Men's U-20 World Cup.

France 4-0 Vietnam

France could and should have scored more: Jean-Kevin Augustin missed a penalty in the opening minutes. But the flow of chances never abated and Augustin had a brace by half-time. Marcus Thuram - son of France great, Lilian - opened the scoring in the 18th minute; Augustin, top scorer and MVP at the 2016 UEFA European U-19 Championship - got his second goal of the tournament in the 22nd minute and his third in the 45th.
