Mbappe penalty downs Paraguay but Barcola & Olise underwhelm
Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot as France progressed to the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a laboured 1-0 win over Paraguay on Saturday evening. The South Americans, who upset Germany in the previous round, were always expected to be awkward opponents for the tournament favourites but it was nonetheless surprising just how much Didier Deschamps' stellar forward line struggled to create chances in Philadelphia.
