Kylian Mbappe made history by equalling Olivier Giroud as France's joint all-time top scorer with 57 goals. The forward scored in the 66th minute to give France a 1-0 lead over Senegal in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group I match. Playing his 99th game for France, Mbappe finished a pass from Michael Olise for his 13th World Cup goal. Earlier, Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made key saves to keep the score level. Ismaila Sarr also missed a big chance before half-time. France now look set to begin their World Cup campaign with a victory.
