The match in the infernal heat of Philadelphia was not a spectacle. Koné and Rabiot had attempts in the first half, and then in the 70th minute, Kylian Mbappé scored his seventh World Cup goal from the penalty spot.

France's performance in Philadelphia was far from captivating, but a single penalty converted by Kylian Mbappé proved sufficient to overcome Paraguay and secure their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The game, played under the oppressive heat, saw limited attacking flair. Both Koné and Rabiot made attempts on goal during the first half, but neither could find the back of the net. The breakthrough finally came in the 70th minute when Mbappé calmly dispatched a penalty, marking his seventh goal in the tournament and ultimately deciding the outcome. France will now advance to face Morocco in the next round.
