France 3-0 Sweden: FIFA World Cup 2026. Kylian Mbappe moved into outright second place in the FIFA World Cup all-time leading scorer charts as France swept aside Sweden at New York New Jersey Stadium to book their place in the Round of 16.

Mbappe struck twice to take his World Cup tally to 18 goals, now two clear of Miroslav Klose and only one behind Lionel Messi – with further movement between the leading duo almost certain in the coming days. Bradley Barcola was also on target as Les Bleus continued their perfect start to World Cup 2026.

Their relentless pressure finally told on the stroke of half-time. Latching on to a short corner on the left, Mbappe glided into the penalty area before unleashing a ferocious drive that arrowed into the far corner.

Mbappe completed his brace in the 74th minute after another brilliant assist from Olise, with the France No10 sweeping home to make a half dozen at World Cup 2026. The France captain will have the chance to add to his haul when France face Paraguay in the Round of 16 at Philadelphia Stadium on 4 July.
