France, which recently suffered two consecutive losses to Denmark and showed a particularly weak performance, pushed back with 21 shots as if it were determined.



In the first half, the Danish goalkeeper saved one after another and vomited regret, but in the second half, Mbappe flew up.



In the 16th minute of the second half, he exchanged the ball with Hernandez on the left flank and scored the first goal lightly.



Seven minutes later, Denmark's Krstensen scored the equalizer, but in the 41st minute of the second half, Mbappe once again came out as a solver.



Griezmann scored the winning goal by driving a long cross up behind the defender.



Mbafe, who scored 4 goals in the last World Cup in Russia, scored his 3rd goal in this tournament and became a joint leader with Valencia in Ecuador, and became the first player since Pele to score 7 goals in the World Cup before the age of 24.



France, who won 2-1 amid Mbappe's performance, was the first to confirm their advance to the round of 16 with two consecutive wins.
