Magnificent Mbappe has France scoring records in his sights
DOHA, November 26 (Reuters) – Kylian Mbappe's meteoric rise showed no signs of abating as the France forward sealed the holders' 2-1 win over Denmark on Saturday, sending them into the World Cup's last 16.
Mbappe, who will turn 24 two days after the final on December 18, took control of the game at the 974 Stadium with two goals after the break, despite being a little too selfish in the first half.
All of that didn't matter when he opened the scoring with a bouncing first-time finish from Theo Hernandez's cut-back after a one-two with the defender, and it didn't matter even less when he won it with his thigh off Antoine Griezmann's cross.
Mbappe has now scored 31 goals in 61 appearances for France, putting him on track to break Olivier Giroud's and Thierry Henry's all-time record of 51.
He is ranked seventh among France's scorers, alongside the great Zinedine Zidane.
Mbappe has seven goals in World Cup tournaments, trailing only Just Fontaine's record 13 in 1958 and already ahead of Henry's six in four appearances.
"Kylian is a fantastic player. I've said it before: he has the ability to be decisive, to make the difference "Didier Deschamps, the coach, told reporters.For the first goal, he took advantage of fullback Hernandez's threat on the left wing to pounce after their one-two.
Mbappe may hide in the back of the group during warm-ups during training sessions in Qatar, but the forward bursts into the spotlight on match days.
