Kylian Mbappe was the star of the show as France qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a win over Poland – and the Paris Saint-Germain forward also reached a personal landmark.
Mbappe scored twice in the second half as the defending champions eased past Poland with a 3-1 victory on Sunday afternoon. Olivier Giroud opened the scoring just before the interval from Mbappe’s pass to become France’s all-time record goalscorer.
The 23-year-old then stole the show by scoring two stunning strikes. First, he powered an unstoppable shot past the tournament’s outstanding goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny, before making it 3-0 with a beautiful curling finish into the far corner.
