Kylian Mbappé dazzles against Senegal with brace and captain’s display

After a difficult first 45 minutes, Kylian Mbappé took the plaudits with a brace against Senegal at the 2026 World Cup. In the New York suburbs, the France captain was the game’s main attraction.

His first half yielded little. After the restart he seized control, scoring twice and leading the line with authority.

According to Le Progres, his name was on every tongue at full-time, with supporters and international media lingering on his second, a superb strike only minutes earlier.

That laboured start felt swiftly forgotten amid a commanding second act.

To cap the night, he wiped out two France national-team records in one swoop, underlining a successful outing.
