📅⚽ World Cup 2026 – France Kicks Off Their Journey with a Hat Trick
In one of the strongest group matches so far, the French national team secured a well-deserved victory over Senegal with a score of 3-1 in their World Cup opener.
The match, held at "MetLife Stadium" in New Jersey, showcased an exceptional performance by Kylian Mbappé, who scored two goals, bringing his total to 14 goals in World Cup history, tying with German legend Gerd Müller for third place on the all-time tournament scoring list, while becoming France's all-time top scorer in the World Cup.
Mbappé opened the scoring in the 66th minute after a key pass from Ousmane Dembélé, then substitute Barkola added the second goal in the 82nd minute following a pass from Rabiot. Senegal narrowed the gap in stoppage time through M'Baye, but Mbappé returned to seal the show with a long-range strike just one minute later, confirming the 3-1 victory for the French squad.
With this win, France has avenged their defeat against Senegal in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup.
