Mbaye gave Senegal hope.
Details: Today's World Cup clash between France and Senegal turned into a true football spectacle.
Although France clinched a dramatic 3-1 victory, there was still a reason to celebrate for 18-year-old PSG and Senegal winger Ibrahim Mbaye.
By finding the back of the net against France, Mbaye not only reignited hope for his nation but also became the youngest African goalscorer in World Cup history.
Mbaye achieved this feat at just 18 years old—a new all-time record.
Previously, this milestone belonged to Moussa Wagué, who scored against Japan in 2018 at the age of 19 years and 263 days.
