06 Jul 2018
30' We're still goalless ...

28' Laxalt and Mbappe are constantly in tug of war. Sooner or later the referee will intervene but great match for match hunger shown by both players.
06 Jul 2018
24' Mbappe is flooded by blue shirts as he immediately receives the ball on the right flank. Busy night ahead for defenders and attackers it seem.

18' POGBA!
His effort from 25-yards out goes well wide.
06 Jul 2018
15' MBAPPE!
Unlucky, the 19-year-old is unmarked in the penalty area and Giroud is aware and lobs a cross over. Mbappe rises and heads his effort over the cross bar. He had time to bring the ball down.
