France Advances to World Cup Quarterfinals

Kylian Mbappé scored his 19th career World Cup goal, and France survived stifling heat to beat Paraguay 1-0 on Saturday, sending Les Bleus into the quarterfinals for the fourth straight time.

World Cup Update

France advanced to play Morocco on Thursday in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The match was played in extreme heat, with temperatures hovering around 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mbappé was awarded the penalty when Diego Gomez was called for tripping after a video review. Then he stutter-stepped on his way to his 19th goal in 19 World Cup appearances, one behind career record holder Lionel Messi of Argentina.
