2026 World Cup: Mbappe sets two new records as France beat Senegal 3-1

French captain Kylian Mbappé set two new records as France defeated Senegal 3-1 in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup. After a quiet first half, Mbappé opened the scoring from a Michael Olise pass, equaling Olivier Giroud's record of 57 goals as France's all-time top scorer. He later scored again to become the outright top scorer, with 14 World Cup goals - more than any other French player and more than Lionel Messi.
