France forward Kylian Mbappe was named the man of the match after putting in a stunning display to help his country beat Argentina 4-3 in Kazan on Saturday and move through to the World Cup quarter-finals.
Mbappe earned his side a penalty in the 13th minute, which was converted by Antoine Griezmann.
With the game firmly in the balance at 2-2 in the second half, excellent Mbappe drilled a low shot underneath Franco Armani to restore France’s lead.
Mbappe made the game safe in the 68th minute. The 19-year-old received Olivier Giroud’s pass before firing a shot into the bottom-right corner.
In the last eight, France will face Uruguay who knocked out Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portunal later that same day.
