French attacker Kylian Mbappe after scoring against Poland

The reigning champions cruised past Poland who came second in Group C of the World Cup. Courtesy of Kylian Mbappe’s stunning performance, France dominantly reserve their place in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup. Although Poland saw a lot of ball throughout the 90 minutes, they were unable to find a decisive moment to trouble France.

Kylian Mbappe assisted the first goal and scored the other two in France’s 3-1 victory. Robert Lewandowski also scored a penalty in the dying moments of the game to register the second FIFA World Cup goal of his career. Hugo Lloris saved Lewandowski’s first attempt at goal but was off his lines.

The Polish captain did not miss from the spot the second time and scored a consolation goal for Poland as they return home after a disheartening loss at the Al Thumama stadium.
