Kylian Mbappé scored the decisive penalty in the second half, leading France to a 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup. The first half ended without goals as France struggled to penetrate Paraguay's defense.
A foul inside the area led to the penalty, which Mbappé successfully converted, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. With this win, France secured their spot in the quarter-finals, where they will face Morocco, who earlier triumphed over co-host Canada with a score of 3-0.
This victory marks France's advancement to the last eight for the second consecutive tournament.
