It took until the cusp of stoppage-time for Mbappé to curl in the opener from inside the box for his fifth of the tournament, only trailing Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot.

But more importantly, the goal sees Mbappé become the highest scoring player in World Cup knockout history, passing Brazilian greats Leônidas and Ronaldo Nazário.
