The monumental clash between France and Senegal ended in a truly historic triumph, forever altering the annals of world football.
Details: The captain and undisputed leader of Les Bleus, Kylian Mbappé, delivered a dazzling performance on North American soil. By netting a stunning brace in this encounter, the 27-year-old striker officially became the sole all-time top scorer in the history of the French national team.
The final collapse of Senegal's defense came in the 90+6th minute of stoppage time. Mbappé, with a precise and ice-cold finish, sent the ball into the back of the net, sealing a 3-1 victory for the French. This goal was Kylian's second of the match and firmly cemented his status as a living legend of French and world sport.
With this phenomenal display, Mbappé rewrote two of France's greatest football records in one night. First, Kylian scored his 58th goal for the national team at just 27 years old, officially surpassing Olivier Giroud and becoming the absolute, undisputed top scorer in Les Bleus' history. Second, the French forward brought his World Cup goal tally to 14, eclipsing the legendary Just Fontaine's record for most World Cup goals scored in a France shirt.
Reminder: Sadio Mané made a hard tackle on Kylian Mbappé, but, to everyone's astonishment, the referee did not award a penalty.
