The Argentine National Team was crowned world champion again after 36 years, by beating France on penalties, in a heart-stopping definition of the 2022 Qatar World Cup final.
Summary Argentina vs France in the world final
France found problems to set up the game and find their top star Mbappé, controlled with a staggered mark between defender Nahuel Molina and midfielder Rodrigo De Paul.
Argentina’s superiority was reflected in the approaches to the rival goal with shots from Alexis Mac Allister and Ángel Di María.
The first goal came after 23 minutes through a penalty executed by Lionel Messi to the left of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, after an offense by Ousmane Dembélé on Di María.
Argentina did not give up control after the opening of the scoring, they continued to own the ball with Messi as the leader of each advance in attack, and as a consequence found the second goal.
Mac Allister received the ball from Julián Álvarez and assisted for Di María’s goal at minute 36, with a precise definition before Lloris left.
Coach Didier Deschamps looked for a reaction, taking Dembélé and Olivier Giroud at 41 to add Randal Kolo Muani and Marcus Thuram, and stop Mbappé in the center of attack.
Argentina maintained the superiority in the second stage, but could not take advantage of the opportunities to widen the difference and in the last minutes paid for their lack of aim.
France, who had not had any shots on goal, discounted at 80 through a penalty that Mbappé converted, after a foul by Nicolás Otamendi on Muani.
