Paraguay vs. France Highlights: France Survives Paraguay Test

France is through to the quarterfinals after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Paraguay, with Kylian Mbappé’s 70th-minute penalty proving to be the difference. It took a moment of quality from Désiré Doué in tight spaces to finally break down a stingy Paraguayan defense that sat deep, stayed compact and made France earn everything.

This was France’s toughest game of the tournament so far, but it still found a way. Paraguay made it physical, defended for its life and pushed late, but it never created enough to truly trouble the French back line. France now moves on to face Morocco in a World Cup semifinal rematch on Thursday, July 9, at Boston Stadium.
