There are a couple of ways to stop this French side, only there’s a small catch – no one has yet found any of those ways. And Poland is not an exception, too.Robert Lewandowski and his national side had put in a lot of effort against super-mighty France, but Les Bleus celebrated a deserved 3-1 win to reach the quarter-finals.The underdogs were even close to scoring on that one occasion in the first half, but both Lloris and his defenders denied back-to-back shots inside the box to keep their heads above the water. And fought back almost instantly!France advance to the next stage of the World Cup. Poland are out. 🚨🇫🇷🇵🇱 #Qatar2022France will face the winners of England vs Senegal game. pic.twitter.com/DZsQxsoVFU— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) December 4, 2022 Mbappe fed Giroud with a perfect assist out of nowhere, and the Milan striker stuck it low past Wojciech Szczesny for a 1-0 lead. Moreover, he became the best-ever scorer in the history of the French national team. This was his 52nd goal for Les Bleus, one more than Thierry Henry.Soon enough, Giroud was close to doubling the lead, but that Ousmane Dembele’s cross was just a tad bit too sharp for the veteran.After the half-time interval, Poland tried once more to get back into the game but were soon faced with the same French recipe from the first half – Griezmann cleared one dangerous ball from the box, Giroud received it near the halfway line, deployed Dembele on the right flank, and he crossed it to the opposite side where Mbappe launched a sensational strike to wrap up the game.EIGHT WORLD CUP GOALS 🤯!!!Kylian Mbappé is just 23 😱France 2-0 Poland#CitiSports #FIFAWorldCup #Qatar2022 pic.twitter.com/wEiNmAQgvs— Citi Sports (@CitiSportsGHA) December 4, 2022 France 3-0 PolandFrance is close to booking its spot in the quarterfinalsMBAPPÉ IS A CHEAT CODE 🎮With this goal, he is now the current Golden Boot leader at the 2022 FIFA World Cup pic.twitter.com/rcqp6SKLuC— Lilian Chan (@bestgug) December 4, 2022 The same player, almost the same position, and exactly the same shot only 15 minutes later, and it was 3-0 for the favourites.
