After only 11 minutes, 19-year-old Mbappe made a sublime run from the halfway line, leaving the Argentine midfield in the dust before being brought down by Marcos Rojo in the box. The winger picked the ball up around 30 yards out and fired a left-footed rocket past Hugo Lloris and into the top corner.Albiceleste turned the game on its head after the break, as Messi’s shot was deflected into the net by defender Gabriel Mercado.
France then ran away with the game thanks to new star Mbappe who announced himself on football’s biggest stage. He fired the first in with his left foot before latching onto Olivier Giroud’s pass to finish first-time as he added his second. The goals meant that he became the first teenager to score two in a World Cup match since Pele netted twice for Brazil against Sweden in the 1958 final.
