Karim Benzema scored two as France comfortably beat Honduras 3-0. The game also saw the first successful usage of goal-line technology in the tournament.
The are several goal-line technology that can determine when the ball has completely crossed the goal line. GoalRef and CAIROS use magnetic fields around the goal and a chip in the ball, while Hawk-Eye and GoalControl are camera-based. The world cup 2014 opt for GoalControl-4D which uses 14 high-speed cameras located around the pitch and directed at both goals. The advantage of GoalControl technology is that no modification is necessary where standard goals, balls and nets can be used. GoalControl cost €200,000 (£170,000) per stadium to install, and €3,000 (£2,550) per match to run.
