Mbappé Breaks Record in France's 3-0 Win Over Sweden
Kylian Mbappé achieved a significant milestone by scoring his ninth goal in World Cup knockout matches, leading France to a dominant 3-0 victory over Sweden at MetLife Stadium. This performance allowed him to break the record previously held by Brazilian great Ronaldo for the most goals in knockout stage matches.
Mbappé's goal came in the 45th minute, showcasing a brilliant individual effort as he fired a shot past the Swedish goalkeeper. This victory is notable as it represents France's largest win in a World Cup knockout match since their 3-0 triumph over Brazil in the 1998 final.
France will now advance to the Round of 16, where they are set to face their conqueror on July 4 in Philadelphia.
