Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty in the second half as France edged Paraguay 1‑0 in a tightly contested World Cup knockout match on Saturday. The French side endured sweltering temperatures that tested both teams’ stamina, but a disciplined Paraguayan defence kept the score level until the decisive spot‑kick, which gave France a three‑goal advantage and secured their place in the quarter‑finals.
The victory propels France into a quarter‑final clash with Morocco, scheduled for later this week. Both teams will now shift focus to preparation, while the tournament organizers continue to monitor the extreme heat conditions affecting matches across the venue.
