France struggled at Philadelphia Stadium to advance to the World Cup quarter-finals. The swashbuckling Paraguay team used many tricks to throw the French off balance, but it wasn’t enough. Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal of the match from a penalty.

France next faces Morocco in the quarter-finals.
