EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) --- Kylian Mbapp put France ahead with a brilliant
crossover step in the 45th minute and added a second-half goal to set a World
Cupknockout round scoring record, and Les Bleus beat Sweden 3-0 Tuesday to set
up a round of 16 match against Paraguay.
Bradley Barcola added a 53rd-minute goal for France and Mbapp capped the
scoring in the 74th minute for his third two-goal game in four matches. His six
goals tied Argentina forward Lionel Messi for the tournament lead and gave him
18 in his World Cup career, one shy of Messi's record.
Mbapp's 10 knockout rounds goals are two more than the previous high by
Brazilian greats Leonidas and Ronaldo. France coach Didier Deschamps bowed when
his star came to the bench after he was substituted in the 85th minute.
