Star Kylian Mbappe scored his fifty-seventh and fifty-eighth goal with the French national team when he opened and closed the scoring against Senegal (3-1) on Tuesday in East Rutherford in the suburbs of New York, at the beginning of his football career in the 2026 World Cup, breaking the record for the number of international goals in the history of his country’s national team, registered in the name of Olivier Giroud. The star Kylian Mbappe scored His fifty-seventh and fifty-eighth goals with the French national team when he opened and closed the scoring against Senegal (3-1) on Tuesday in East Rutherford in the suburbs of New York, at the beginning of his football career in the 2026 World Cup, breaking the record for the number of international goals in the history of his country’s national team, registered in the name of Olivier Giroud. With a perfect pass from Michael Olise, the French national team captain, who is 27 years old and has played 99 international matches, opened the scoring in the 67th minute of a match that had been very difficult for the French until that moment. After a first half in which he did not shoot a single shot on goal, Mbappe had two great successive chances: the first, also with a pass from Oliseh, which was blocked by Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, and the second, when he lost his balance inside the area following an intervention by Sadio Mane, unsuccessfully calling for a penalty kick that was not awarded even after referring to the Video Assistant Referee (VIR). Mbappe's double against Senegal was not limited to securing the first three points for the Roosters in the current edition of the World Cup, but also gave the player (27 years old) the title of the all-time top scorer for the French team in the World Cup, with 14 goals, surpassing the previous record of the late star Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in one edition in 1958. Mbappe's new achievement has redrawn the features of the history of the World Cup's top scorers since its first inception in 1930 in Uruguay, where retired German striker Miroslav Klose still sits at the top with 16 goals scored during his participation in 4 consecutive editions between 2002 and 2014, during which he played 24 matches. In second place is Brazilian football phenomenon Ronaldo, with 15 goals scored in 19 matches he played across 4 World Cup editions between 1994 and 2006, noting that he was crowned top scorer in the 2002 edition with 8 goals that led Samba to its fifth title.
