France 3-0 Sweden, FIFA World Cup 2026: Mbappe Ties With Messi In Golden Boot Race As FRA Seal Round Of 16 Spot
France Vs Sweden, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Gallery: France triumphed over Sweden with a score of 3-0 in the Round of 32 at the FIFA World Cup, propelled by a brace from Kylian Mbappe and a goal from Bradley Barcola. Mbappe had opportunities to increase his tally: he nearly opened the scoring for France when he placed the ball into the net, only for the goal to be disallowed due to offside. He also struck the post, as did Olise with a remarkable overhead kick! France's victory came just a day after they witnessed potential Round of 16 rival Germany exit the tournament in a penalty shootout. This match marked the first occasion that France and Sweden faced each other in a FIFA World Cup match in their respective histories.
