France vs Sweden FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Summary

France defeated Sweden in a strong fashion to book a confirmed spot in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Despite the hot conditions in New Jersey, France started on the attack and put Sweden under pressure from the opening minutes.

Mbappe thought he had given France the lead in the 20th minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Soon after, he struck the post after meeting Jules Koundé's low cross with the goal wide open.

Sweden goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterström made several excellent saves to keep his side in the game, but he could do nothing to stop Mbappe, who finally broke the deadlock just before halftime.

France looked increasingly frustrated before finally finding the breakthrough. Mbappe timed his run perfectly to meet Ousmane Dembélé's precise pass, and calmly placed his shot into the far corner.

Sweden had a great chance to equalize almost immediately, but Elliot Stroud blasted his effort over the bar after the ball fell to him around 12 yards from goal.

That proved to be Sweden's best opportunity, and France soon took full control. Just eight minutes into the second half, Bradley Barcola collected a smart pass from Michael Olise and fired a powerful shot into the near post to double the lead.

Ousmane Dembélé nearly added another goal with one of his trademark curling shots from the right, but Jacob Widell Zetterström produced another excellent save. The Swedish goalkeeper then denied Michael Olise in a one-on-one situation to keep the score unchanged.

Mbappe eventually got his second goal in the 74th minute. He ran onto another perfectly weighted pass from Olise and calmly curled his shot past Widell Zetterström to seal France's convincing win.
