Kylian Mbappe struck twice to help France secure a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sweden and advance to the World Cup round of 16 on Tuesday.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward’s brace at MetLife Stadium took his World Cup knockout-stage tally to a record 10 goals. He now sits just one short of Lionel Messi’s all-time World Cup scoring record of 19 and is tied with the Argentine on six goals in the 2026 tournament.
Bradley Barcola added France’s second goal in an impressive team performance that saw Didier Deschamps’ side dominate proceedings. France will face Paraguay in the next round.
