France vs Croatia: Kylian Mbappé scripts history, becomes 2nd teenager to score in World Cup final

France’s teenage sensation Mbappe scored the fourth goal for France during the 2018 World Cup final against Croatia on Sunday.

By doing so, he became only the second teenager to score in a World Cup final since Brazil’s Pele in 1958.

With six goals already scored in the match, it is also for the first time that more than five goals are scored in the final. It was in 1958 final when five goals were scored.

France are 4-2 against Croatia at the Luzhniki Stadium with the final still underway.

France took the lead when Croatia forward Mario Mandzukic, who scored the extra-time winner over England in the semi-final, inadvertently headed home an Antoine Griezmann free-kick in the 18th minute for the first own goal in a World Cup final.

Croatia's Ivan Perisic, who had also scored in the semi-final, levelled with a powerful shot 10 minutes later after France had failed to clear a Luka Modric free-kick.

But Perisic was then responsible for conceding a penalty for handball that was give following a VAR decision and Griezmann coolly converted the spot-kick in the 38th to put the French back in front.
