Olivier Giroud became France's all-time men's record goalscorer as his opener and Kylian Mbappe's second-half double gave the World Cup holders a 3-1 win over Poland to move them into the quarter-finals.
Match Report
Giroud scored his 52nd France goal to surpass Thierry Henry's record with a neat first-half finish (44) to help fire Les Bleus to a last-16 victory in Doha and set up a quarter-final against either England or Senegal.
The 36-year-old, who had equalled Henry's tally of 51 after scoring twice in their opening Group D win over Australia, broke the record on his 117th appearance for France.
Mbappe then doubled France's lead in the 74th minute before arrowing in a superb second in stoppage time to make it five goals in Qatar - two more than any other player at the tournament.
Robert Lewandowski scored a 99th-minute re-taken penalty to add a late consolation for Poland to deny Hugo Lloris a clean sheet on his record-equalling 142nd appearance for France.

🗣 ALAN SHEARER: “Mbappe has blistering pace, goals and aggression. He has the lot – full of confidence and he has got everything in his game.”

Kylian Mbappe passes Pele for most World Cup goals scored by a men's player before turning 24 years old (8) and passed Ronaldo World Cup goal tally in just 2 world cup appearances 😮👏

Haaland is just a goal poacher. He's nothing compared to Mbappe or Vinicius
So just because he plays a different role he isn't as good. Damn, you are probably a messi fan then, cuz u think everyone who can only score and cant create chances are worse than those who can do both, even if the specialised goalscorers can score way more. People these days dont underatand what a specialised role is in football and that proper usage of such a role can have a better effect in a match than just having 10 messis on the pitch.

Who's Haaland? You should mention Vinicius. Haaland is just a goalscorer
