⭐ Key Players

  • Kylian Mbappe struck 2 goals (65', 90') in the 3-1 win.
  • Michael Olise supplied 1 assist, teeing up Mbappe’s 65' opener.
  • Bradley Barcola came on and scored at 81' to make it 2-0.
  • Ibrahim Mbaye netted at 90' to pull Senegal back to 2-1.

After a cagey first half ended goalless, France had a scare just after the hour when a video assistant referee check at 60'33'' ended with no penalty for the home side.

The breakthrough arrived at 65'32'' as Mbappe finished from Olise’s assist to make it 1-0. Senegal responded with changes - 74'59'' saw Ismaila Sarr replaced by Ibrahim Mbaye, and Habib Diarra came on for Lamine Camara at 75'16'' - but France kept their grip.

Deschamps then turned to the bench, sending on Barcola for Ousmane Dembele at 79'28'', and the substitute delivered at 81'36'', converting Adrien Rabiot’s assist for 2-0. Senegal continued to rotate, including Iliman Ndiaye’s introduction at 82'52'', and it paid off late when Ndiaye set up Mbaye’s 90'00'' strike. France immediately restored daylight as Mbappe struck again at 90'00''.

The stats underlined the scoreline: France outshot Senegal 12-7, with 9 efforts on target. Reports also suggested Mbappe’s double took him to a historic scoring mark for France.
