A historic clash unfolded as France faced Senegal, culminating in a significant victory that will be remembered in the world of football.
Kylian Mbappé, captain and standout leader of Les Bleus, showcased an extraordinary performance on North American soil. With two goals in the match, the 27-year-old striker made history by becoming the all-time top scorer for the French national team.
The decisive moment came in the 90+6th minute of stoppage time, when Mbappé delivered a precise finish, securing a 3-1 victory for France. This goal not only marked his second in the match but also solidified his legendary status in French and global sports.
With this exceptional display, Mbappé rewrote two major records in a single night. He scored his 58th goal for the national team, surpassing Olivier Giroud, and brought his World Cup tally to 14, eclipsing Just Fontaine’s record for the most goals scored for France in World Cup history.
Sadio Mané made a hard tackle on Kylian Mbappé, but, to everyone’s astonishment, the referee did not award a penalty.
