France cruised into the World Cup last 16 with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Sweden, inspired by a Michael Olise masterclass, according to GOAL.
The Bayern Munich winger was involved in almost everything as Kylian Mbappe scored twice and Bradley Barcola added another to secure the win. Olise, rated 9/10, came close to scoring a bicycle-kick goal of the tournament and provided sublime assists for both Barcola and Mbappe’s second.
Mbappe’s brace took him level with Lionel Messi on six goals at the tournament. France will now face Paraguay in the Round of 16 after the South Americans stunned Germany on penalties.
Key Points:
France are hitting peak form at exactly the right time
Olise’s creative genius makes France even more dangerous
Mbappe joins Messi on six goals as the Golden Boot race intensifies
France’s midfield and attack are clicking ahead of a tough Paraguay test
Sweden exit but gave a spirited account of themselves
France will face Paraguay in the Round of 16. Mbappe and Olise will be key to their continued title charge.
