Mbappé Sends France Into World Cup Quarter-Finals

Kylian Mbappé's second-half penalty was enough for France to beat Paraguay 1-0.

France are through to the World Cup quarter-finals after a narrow 1-0 win over Paraguay in a tense last-16 encounter.

After dominating possession but struggling to break down a determined Paraguay defence, Les Bleus finally found the breakthrough in the 70th minute when Kylian Mbappé converted from the penalty spot following a VAR review.

The French captain's seventh goal of the tournament keeps him among the leading contenders for the Golden Boot and secured his side's place in the last eight.

France will now face Morocco in the quarter-finals after the North Africans overcame Canada in their last-16 clash.
