With this goal, Giroud surpassed Thierry Henry with his 52nd goal to become France’s record holder for most goals.
Mbappé, currently the top scorer, scored a goal in the 74th minute after taking time to advance on the pitch and receiving a pass from Giroud and Dembélé. He then scored again in extra time with a precision shot after receiving the ball from Thuram.
Mbappe, 23, took a strong kick with his right foot and passed the diving Polish goalkeeper Wozciech Szczesny to give France a win. This goal equaled his tally from four years ago, making him the sole leader in the Golden Boot race.
