MbappĆ© makes World Cup knockout history after scoring vs Sweden š Kylian MbappĆ© is simply unstoppable in the World Cup. The French superstar opened the scoring in France's last-32 showdown with Sweden this evening in New Jersey, and made stunning history in the process. Sweden keeper Jacob Zetterstrƶm was a brick-wall in the opening 45 minutes despite France peppering his goal with shots. It took until the cusp of stoppage-time for MbappĆ© to curl in the opener from inside the box for his fifth of the tournament, only trailing Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot. But more importantly, the goal sees MbappĆ© become the highest scoring player in World Cup knockout history, passing Brazilian greats LeĆ“nidas and Ronaldo NazĆ”rio. Still just 27-years-old, who knows how many more he can add to that ridiculous tally before all is said and done!
