France 1-0 Senegal: Mbappe scores.

In the early hours of June 17th, the French team opened the scoring after a precise run and finish by Mbappe in the 66th minute.

France entered the tournament as one of the top contenders for the title. Under the leadership of Deschamps, the French team was aiming to become only the third team in history to reach three consecutive World Cup finals. After a near-perfect qualifying campaign with 5 wins and 1 draw, France continued their impressive form, winning 9 of their last 11 matches in all competitions.

On the other side of the battlefield, Senegal also made history by participating in the World Cup finals for the third consecutive time, an unprecedented achievement for an African team. Coach Aliou Cisse's team secured their ticket to the biggest football event on the planet with an unbeaten record in the qualifying round, including 7 wins and 3 draws.

However, Senegal still needs to improve significantly if they want to spring a surprise. In their last three World Cup appearances, they have never advanced beyond the round of 16 since their quarter-final run in 2002. Notably, Senegal did beat France 1-0 in their opening match of the 2002 World Cup, but history is unlikely to repeat itself as "Les Bleus" currently possess a superior squad.

The upcoming match also brings some noteworthy statistics. France haven't lost a World Cup opening match since 2002, while Senegal haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 11 World Cup finals games.
