Mbappe Fires France Past Paraguay into FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter-finals
France edged Paraguay 1-0 to book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals, with Kylian Mbappe scoring the decisive penalty in Philadelphia.
The France captain netted his seventh goal of the tournament after a VAR review awarded a spot-kick in the 69th minute. Paraguay frustrated the two-time champions for long spells with a disciplined defensive display, but Didier Deschamps’ side eventually found the breakthrough. The strike also marked Mbappe’s record-extending 11th World Cup knockout-stage goal and kept him level with Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot race.
