Mbappé Matches Messi’s Tally as France Crush Sweden 3-0 to Seal Last 16 Spot

Kylian Mbappé starred again as France routed Sweden 3-0 to secure their place in the World Cup Round of 16. Mbappé struck twice either side of Bradley Barcola’s goal to reach six tournament strikes, drawing level with Lionel Messi at the top of the scoring chart. In New Jersey’s intense heat, France dominated from the start. Mbappé’s opener arrived just before half-time after a slick stepover past Viktor Gyökeres. Barcola added a second early in the second half, and Mbappé curled home his second in the 74th minute. Sweden threatened on a few occasions but could not find the net. France now turns its attention to the Round of 16 clash in Philadelphia on July 4.
