France booked their spot in the last 16 of the World Cup with a late victory over Paraguay in Los Angeles. The decisive goal came deep into stoppage time, as Kylian Mbappé bent a shot past the keeper in the 88th minute.
The match turned heated after Mbappé tackled rival midfielder Torales with force. Rivaldo described the move as ‘disgusting’ shortly after. Mbappé, as captain, dismissed the controversy. He claimed his side were simply content to work hard in a scrappy tie.
