4 December 2022 at 17:56 Mbappé wreaked havoc when France beat Poland: – What a player For the first time since the World Cup in 1986, Poland managed to progress from a group stage in the World Cup, but on Sunday it called a halt in the round of 16 against the reigning champions, France. Olivier Giroud scored the first goal of the game just before the break. The striker got free inside the box, and followed up with a quick finish that rolled into the corner. The score is his 52nd goal for the French national team, which means that Giroud now sits alone at the top as the player with the most goals for the men’s national team of France – one goal ahead of Thierry Henry. Sunday’s match was Giroud’s 117th cap. He is still some way up to Eugénie Le Sommer, who is the player with the most national team goals at senior level in France. She has 86 scores. In the 74th minute, France increased the lead after a nice counterattack. It was finished by Kylian Mbappé, who from 14 meters slammed the ball straight into the net. – What an achievement. What a player, said news’s expert commentator Nils Johan Semb about the score. In overtime, Mbappé made it 3-0, after another gem of a shot. – The world does not have the wife of a football player, said Semb. Mbappé now has 33 national team goals in 62 matches, and a full nine of the goals have come in the World Cup. The 23-year-old is thus more than halfway to Miroslav Klose’s World Cup record of 16 goals. Mbappé is also the top scorer in this year’s WC with five goals. Robert Lewandowski pulled one back for Poland from the penalty spot eight minutes into extra time to ensure France eventually won 3-1. France will play in the quarter-finals on Saturday. There they meet the winner of the match between England and Senegal.
