Mbappe Sets New France Record With Opener Against Peru

The 19-year-old overtakes two French legends in becoming their youngest-ever goalscorer at a major finals tournament.



Kylian Mbappe has written himself into the World Cup history books with France after opening the scoring against Peru on Thursday.


While it appeared Olivier Giroud’s deflected effort was heading into the net after fine recovery work from Paul Pogba, Mbappe made certain to put France on course for a second Group C win with a simple close-range finish.
