France 3-1 Poland
- In their most dominant display in Qatar, France beat Poland 3-1.
- Olivier Giroud opened the scoring thanks to an assist by Kylian Mbappe, who then scored a brace in the second half.
- Poland’s Robert Lewandowski managed a consolation goal through a penalty in the 99th minute.
- Lewandowski’s last-minute strike means he scored a total of two goals at the World Cup, adding to his total of 77 goals for Poland. This is most likely his last World Cup final tournament appearance.
- After missing France’s 1-0 loss to Tunisia in the group stage, Mbappe, Giroud and Antoine Griezmann all came back to the team against Poland. All three played a key role in the match.
- Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris matched France’s record of 142 appearances held by Lilian Thuram, the right-back in the 1998 world champion team.
- Giroud’s goal means he has now scored an all-time high of 52 international goals for Les Bleus, one more than the previous record holder, Thierry Henry.
