PARIS (Reuters) - France head coach Corinne Diacre said her side had taken their first step towards women's World Cup success but warned they must stay grounded after they started with a 4-0 victory against South Korea on Friday. Les Bleues were rarely troubled by a limited South Korea side and took only nine minutes to open the scoring, with Eugenie Le Sommer firing the ball into the roof of the net from close range. We won tonight but it's just the first step," Diacre told a news conference at the Parc des Princes. France played the perfect game, reaching the interval with a three-goal lead that all but extinguished South Korea' hopes of victory. I had never scored at a World Cup but it's important collectively and those goals helped us reach halftime with a three-goal lead."
