There was no shortage of excitement in Kazan and the match was vibrant. Trailing to a penalty by Griezmann, Argentina reacted with goals by Di Maria and Mercado. However, the Blues responded thanks to goals by Pavard and a brace by the PSG striker. Aguero's goal in stoppage time was useless. The star of the match was Kylian Mbappe. It was the 20-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker with a brace and a devastating performance that dragged France to the quarter-finals. In his first appearance at the World Cup, the young talent has already scored three goals in four games and when he was substituted at the end today he received a well-deserved standing ovation. Didier Deschamps' team had not shone in the first phase, but today they literally exploded in all their potential and are rightfully among the favorites for the final victory.
