🧠 Match Summary

vs

France secured a commanding 3-1 victory over Senegal on Matchday 6 of Group I at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, with Kylian Mbappé proving the decisive force. The French captain broke the deadlock on 66 minutes before Bradley Barcola extended the lead in the 82nd minute, and Mbappé sealed it with a second goal in stoppage time. Senegal's Ibrahim Mbaye pulled one back in the 90th minute, but it was too little too late for the Lions of Teranga.

France controlled the contest throughout, holding 54% possession and generating 11 shots to Senegal's six, with eight of those efforts testing goalkeeper Édouard Mendy's replacement between the posts — who was forced into five saves. Referee Alireza Faghani oversaw a disciplined French side who committed just five fouls, as Les Bleus march forward in style at the 2026 World Cup.
