Overview
- Kylian Mbappé converted a 54th‑minute panenka after Michael Olise won a penalty and later added a second, reaching 400 career goals and moving to 55 in 94 caps for France.
- Olise struck in the 76th minute and Hugo Ekitike netted in the 88th for his first senior international goal to cap the victory at the Parc des Princes.
- A minute of silence and tributes marked the 10th anniversary of the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks, tempering post‑match celebrations.
- The win confirms France’s eighth consecutive World Cup appearance; Sunday’s trip to Baku to face Azerbaijan has no bearing on qualification.
- France will be a top seed for the group‑stage draw in Washington on Dec. 5, with preparations beginning for what is widely expected to be Didier Deschamps’ final World Cup as coach.
