Mbappé Shines as France Beats Brazil 2-1 in Friendly

In a friendly match held at Gillette Stadium near Boston, Kylian Mbappé led France to a 2-1 victory over Brazil. Mbappé opened the scoring with a chip finish past Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson in the 30th minute.

France's Dayot Upamecano was sent off early in the second half after a VAR review upgraded his yellow card for a foul. Despite being reduced to ten men, France extended their lead through Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike in the 65th minute.

Brazil managed to pull one back with Gleison Bremer's close-range finish in the 78th minute, but France held on for the win. This match serves as a confidence booster for France ahead of the World Cup, where they will face Senegal and Norway in the group stage.

Mbappé's goal marked his 56th for the national team, leaving him one shy of Olivier Giroud's record of 57 goals. France's next friendly is against Colombia in Washington, D.C.
