FIFA World Cup 2022 France vs Poland Highlights: Kylian Mbappe scored twice as France beat Poland 3-1 in the third Round of 16 fixture at the 2022 World Cup. The 23-year-old became only the first player in World Cup history to score eight goals before turning 24. Olivier Giroud also registered in the record books after overtaking Thierry Henry as France men’s all time record goal scorer with his strike in the first half.
Robert Lewandowski put one back in for Poland from the penalty spot but it was too late for the Group C runner ups to make a possible comeback in the game. France will now face the winner of the England-Senegal match in the quarter final.
FULLTIME
France concede a penalty late in the added time following a VAR check for a possible handball infringement in the box. Robert Lewandowski steps up to take it but puts it straight to Hugo Lloris but wait a minute, it will have to be retaken as the French defenders have rushed in too early.
RETAKE: Lewandowski scores this time. His second goal at these World Cup finals but a goal that’ll barely affect the result of the game. And that does it. The referee blows his final whistle. France through to the quarter finals.
