Kylian Mbappe scored again for France as they beat Morocco 2-0 in the Boston Stadium for a semi-final place. Mbappe has now joined Lionel Messi on eight World Cup goals as these two icons continue their incredible battle for the Golden Boot and World Cup supremacy.
Two Men Making This World Cup Unforgettable
The 2026 World Cup will be remembered as the battle of two superstars. Mbappe and Messi sit on top of the world as the highest scorers in World Cup history and have eight goals apiece this tournament. It is like a ping-pong battle: anything you can do, I can do better. Mbappe even missed a penalty like Messi did but made up for it in the 60th minute when he scored and put France ahead.
It is the lightning pace of Mbappe that makes him unplayable at times; defenders are scared out of their minds. If he has space in front of him, no defender is catching him. France are now the first team through to the semi-finals on Tuesday to face either Spain or Belgium in Dallas.
