Mexico keeps a clean sheet, Mbappe sets a record.

July 1st saw a superb performance from Mbappe in France's victory over Sweden, while the Mexican national team went four matches without conceding a goal.

Kylian Mbappe rose to the absolute second spot on the list of all-time top scorers at the FIFA World Cup as France beat Sweden 3-0 at the New York Stadium in New Jersey to secure their place in the round of 16 on the morning of July 1st.

Mbappe scored a brace, bringing his World Cup goal tally to 18, now two goals ahead of Miroslav Klose and just one goal behind Lionel Messi – and there will certainly be a change in the top two in the coming days. Bradley Barcola also scored, helping Les Bleus continue their perfect start at the 2026 World Cup.

France put on a spectacular attacking display in the first half. The 1998 and 2018 World Cup champions unleashed 15 shots on goal before halftime, including one by Mbappe that was disallowed for offside and another that hit the post. Michael Olise also came close to scoring, his spectacular bicycle kick finding the back of the net.

Their relentless pressure finally paid off just before the end of the first half. Receiving a short corner kick on the left wing, Mbappe skillfully penetrated the penalty area before unleashing a powerful shot that went straight into the far corner of the net.
