France and England won side by side in the Round of 16 held at dawn today (5th).

In the four matches of the round of 16 held so far, all the teams that were expected to win have reached the quarterfinals, and I hope tomorrow morning that prediction will be wrong.



Reporter Ha Jeong-yeon summarized the results of today's match.

France's Mbappe literally destroyed Poland with a one-man show.



In the 44th minute of the first half, Mbappe helped Giroud's opening goal with a pass like an awl.



Giroud broke Thierry Henry's record for most goals by a French player with his 52nd goal in A-match.



In the second half, Mbappe's mid-range guns exploded one after another.



In the 29th minute of the second half, in a counterattack situation, he shook the net with a powerful right-footed shot, and in the 1st minute of extra time in the second half, he stabbed the right corner of the goal with a sensational shot in front of the defender.



Mbappe became the sole top scorer with his fifth goal, and broke Pele's record for under-24 goals with nine goals in his World Cup career.



France conceded a penalty to Lewandowski just before the end, but won 3-1 and easily advanced to the quarterfinals, cruising for a second consecutive title.

England also defeated Senegal 3-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.



In the 38th minute of the first half, Henderson, who received a pass from Bellingham, scored the first goal with a sensational left-footed shot, and goal scorer Harry Kane, who had only three assists in the group stage just before the end of the first half, cheered as he reported his first goal of the tournament.



And in the 12th minute of the second half, 21-year-old rising star Bukayo Saka drove to the key goal and won 3-0.



England, who has reached the quarterfinals for the second time in a row, will clash with France on the 11th for a ticket to the quarterfinals.
