Mbappe scored a brace, contributing to France's 3-1 victory over Senegal. |
At MetLife Stadium, Mbappe worried many French fans with his repeated miscontrols in the first half. But in the second half, the Real Madrid player showed a completely different side.
In the 66th minute, receiving a delicate pass from Michael Olise, Mbappe made a clever run and put the ball into the net against Senegal, opening the scoring for France. Then, in the 90+6th minute, after "Les Bleus" conceded a goal, the captain seized the space and finished accurately from outside the penalty area, sealing the 3-1 victory.
In his very first match at his third World Cup, Mbappe scored 14 goals for the French national team. He broke the record of 13 goals held by legendary Just Fontaine since 1958.
Mbappe currently has the same number of World Cup goals as Gerd Muller, and is only two goals away from Miroslav Klose's record of 16 goals.
Mbappe is France's number one hope in attack at the biggest football tournament on the planet, partly because of his knack for this competition. In his very first World Cup, Mbappe scored 4 goals, including a brace against Argentina. At the 2022 World Cup, he was the top scorer with 8 goals.
With their victory against the African representative, Didier Deschamps' team temporarily moved to the top of Group I. They will face Iraq on June 23rd. Against the weakest opponent in the group, many French fans believe that Mbappe can completely equal, or even break, Klose's record in this match.
