Kylian Mbappe had other ideas when it looked like Argentina had done its part. After dispatching his penalty to reduce the deficit, Mbappe scored just the goal of the tournament, volleying it past Martinez in Argentina’s goal. The match then went on to extra time in which Messi thought he had won it by close range, making it 3-2 on the night.
