France secured a 1-0 win against Paraguay in the World Cup round of 16 thanks to a penalty goal scored by Kylian Mbappé on Saturday.
The encounter unfolded in Philadelphia as both sides battled for a place in the quarter-finals. Mbappé showed composure when he was handed the chance from the spot and slotted the ball home to break the deadlock. Paraguay created opportunities but failed to find a way past the French defence. The narrow victory means France advance while their opponents are eliminated from the competition. This result underlines the fine margins that often decide knockout matches at the highest level.
