Kylian Mbappe’s 70th-minute penalty gave France a 1-0 victory over Paraguay in an ill-tempered World Cup last-16 tie in Philadelphia to set up a quarter-final meeting with Morocco.
Mbappe converted his kick coolly despite Paraguayan attempts to put him off as he finally broke the South American side’s resistance and moved level with Lionel Messi on seven World Cup goals.
Paraguay, winners over Germany in the previous round, had defended stubbornly in the 39-degree heat up until then, restricting France, the tournament’s outstanding team so far, to long-range shots and succeeding in slowing the game down.
It took the introduction of Desire Doue for Bradley Barcola for France to find a way through. Uzbek referee Ilgiz Tantashev waved away his penalty appeal initially after he was tripped by Diego Gomez but overturned the decision after a VAR check.
Paraguay were already pushing the limits in terms of discipline at that point and their frustration spilled over with some reckless challenges in the closing stages, most of which went unpunished despite France’s protests and a series of confrontations between players which continued after the final whistle.
Paraguay players appeared to target Mbappe throughout in an attempt to antagonise him but he laughed it off.
The France captain was denied a second goal by a superb double save from Orlando Gill in stoppage time and refused to shake the goalkeeper’s hand after Tantashev had called time on a combustible contest – and a bewildering refereeing performance.
The key moments from Philadelphia
- 22: FIRST SHOT! Manu Kone tries his luck from range after a slow start from France
- 31: CHANCE! Mbappe has a chance from Ousmane Dembele’s teasing cross but fails to connect with his header
- 39: Mbappe catches an arm to the face from Matias Galarza which goes unpunished as France’s frustration builds
- 55 SAVE! Kone’s dipping shot requires an acrobatic save from Gill
- 67: VAR! The referee points to the spot after checking a foul on Desire Doue on the pitch-side monitor
- 70: GOAL! Mbappe scores despite Paraguay delaying and trying to scuff up the penalty spot
- 77: FLASHPOINT! Juan Jose Caceres kicks out at Mbappe but avoids a booking or red card
- 90+7: SAVES! Mbappe is denied by Gill’s outstanding double save before tempers spill over after the final whistle
