What a rip by Mbaye! And, if there is an Achilles Heel for France, is it goalkeeping?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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. 👏

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.

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.

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.

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. 🤷
