World Cup 2022: France defeat Poland 3-1 to advance to last eight stage

Defending world champions, France are through to the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The European giants on Sunday afternoon locked horns with Poland in the third match of the Round 16 games.

In a game where Poland defended most of the time, France did not score until the 44th minute.

Talented PSG star Kylian Mbappe assisted Olivier Giroud to score to give France a deserved lead to take into the break.

That equalizer has seen Olivier Giroud becoming the all-time top scorer of the defending World Champions after surpassing the great Thierry Henry.

Later in the second half of the match, France doubled their lead in the 74th minute.

 

This time around, Kylian Mbappe found the back of the net with an assist from Dembélé. In stoppage time, the forward was presented with another chance and scored to make it 3-0 for France.

Mbappe now has five goals in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and is in the race for the golden boot award.

With Robert Lewandowski converting a penalty kick in the dying minutes, Poland pulled one back while succumbing to a 3-1 defeat at full time.

Courtesy of the win, France are through to the last eight stages of the world cup and will face the winner of the tie between England and Senegal.

That game will be played later tonight.
