Paul Pogba was the match winner for France in Kazan after hitting a late strike to down Australia, and later revealed a very touching tribute.
The Manchester United man slipped his shinpads from his socks at the final whistle, quickly revealing a hidden picture and message.
The image was that of Pogba's late father Fassou Antoine, who passed away just over a year ago at the age of 79 following a battle with illness.
