Mbappé Breaks France Goal Record Against Senegal

Kylian Mbappé scored twice in France's 3-1 World Cup opener against Senegal, breaking Olivier Giroud's record to become Les Bleus' all-time leading scorer with 58 goals.

He surpassed both Giroud and Lionel Messi on the all-time World Cup scoring list with his brace.

The victory gave France a flying start in Group I, though the performance confirmed certain defensive weaknesses.

Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy said his side paid for taking their eye off the ball at critical moments.
