Mbappe continued his sensational World Cup run, opening the scoring for France in their FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final against Morocco in Boston on Thursday.
The strike marked another milestone in Mbappe`s remarkable World Cup journey, taking his tally to 20 goals across the 2018, 2022 and 2026 editions.
Ousmane Dembele later doubled the advantage to secure a 2-0 victory and send Les Bleus into the semi-finals.
The French captain moved within one goal of Lionel Messi`s all-time World Cup scoring record of 21 goals.
This was Mbappe`s eighth goal of the World Cup 2026, which also saw him join Argentina`s Messi at the top of the Golden Boot race.
