Argentina beat France in a thrilling shootout to win the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1986.
Lionel Scaloni’s team had taken the lead to goals from Lionel Messi, and Angel Di Maria before Kylian Mbappe’s two late goals sent the contest into extra time.
After Hugo Lloris had denied Lautaro Martinez, Messi would make the difference for his country in extra time, tapping in to give his team a 3-2 advantage.
Then, somehow, Mbappe scored his third goal and France’s third from the penalty spot to force overtime.
After saving Kingsley Coman’s penalty kick and deflecting Aurelien Tchouameni’s miss in the shootout, Martinez emerged as the winner. Gonzalo
