Mendy with another peach of a save. Closes the angle again. If I'm Deschamps, I'm wanting my players to cut laterally before shooting. #FRASEN#WorldCup#fedifc
Maignan does make an awkward save at the death and, while I'm critical of him overall, I think that was a really good reaction to a deflected ball. #FRASEN#WorldCup#fedifc
Mon dieu! Mbappe shows that Senegal also have an Achille's Heel in goal. Made some huge saves, but that's from 35 yards out and not exactly top bins? #FRASEN#WorldCup#fedifc
Blazing run from Barcola and France catches an overly-aggressive setup from Senegal out flat and the counter makes them pay. Barcola knew Mendy was rushing and cleverly chipped him. #FRASEN#WorldCup#fedifc
Big save from Mendy and a bold decision to rush the shot and close down the angle. Really good goalkeeping, but also at the risk of being fully-committed. Good read and it pays off. 👏 #FRASEN#WorldCup#fedifc
France finally finds a way through. They were knocking at the door for the past 10 minutes, mostly via the brilliance of Olise. His weighted pass was sublime and Mendy couldn't rush this one. #FRASEN#WorldCup#fedifc
Neither Maignan nor Mendy look particularly confident. Maignan is lucky Jackson didn't near-post him, while Mendy seems reluctant to come and claim reachable balls and his defenders seem caught out by his hesitations. #FRASEN#WorldCup
While Mbappe will probably be MOTM for having scored a brace, Olise was the difference maker. The tactical tweak to drop him back into a slightly reserved position allowed his vision and passing to take over. He was incredible. #FRASEN#WorldCup
Huge decision by the referee and VAR. I honestly don't know what the right decision should have been, but I was leaning towards penalty. When the referee was called to the screen, I was sure that's how it would go. No penalty. 🤷 #FRASEN#WorldCup
