Doha, November 26 (QNA) – France successfully exacted revenge on Denmark for their two UEFA Nations League defeats in the summer, with a Kylian Mbappe brace securing three valuable points in a 2-1 victory over Denmark on Saturday.
The victory puts France clear atop Group D with six points, and Les Bleus become the first nation at the 2022 World Cup to mathematically secure a knockout-stage place.
Les Bleus were unlucky to reach halftime without securing the opener. They finally managed to do so just past the hour mark, as Mbappe snuck a shot between two defenders and past an in-form Kasper Schmeichel to put France in front.
France, dominant when they were on the ball, it was they who created all the chances.
Denmark gave it a real effort, and they levelled shortly afterwards against the run of play, with defender Andreas Christensen heading home past Hugo Lloris following a set-piece, but Mbappe finished the job in the 86th minute, converting on a cross from Antoine Griezmann and bundling the ball into the back of the net with his thigh.
Having scored four during Frances victorious 2018 campaign and one against Australia, Mbappe now has seven goals in nine World Cup appearances. (QNA)
