Comments:

France had now won 17 of their last 20 games in the knockout phase at FIFA World Cup tournaments. . Kylian Mbappé had now become the first-ever player to score ten goals in the knockout phase at FIFA World Cup finals: previously eight by Brazil’s Leônidas and Ronaldo. . Didier Deschamps had now become the first-ever manager to win 17 games at FIFA World Cup tournaments: previously 16 by Germany’s Helmut Schön. . Kylian Mbappé scored in the 20th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

Sweden had reached the knockout phase in each of their five participations at FIFA World Cup tournaments since 1994 in USA. . Anthony Elanga failed in his attempt to become the third player to score in three consecutive games for the Blågult at FIFA World Cup finals after Arne Nyberg in France in 1938 and Kennet Andersson in USA in 1994. . They had now lost five of their last six games at FIFA World Cup tournaments against fellow UEFA nations (won one, versus Switzerland in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 2018). . Sweden named 14 of a possible 15 substitutes. Isak Hein was deemed not fit enough to participate in this game.
