France was beaten in a World Cup match for the first time since the 2014 quarterfinal 0-1 loss to Germany, ending a run of nine games without defeat. They have gone without a win in their final group match in the last four World Cup tournaments while failing to score in the last three.

On to the quarters
France dominated their round-of-16 matchup with Poland on Sunday in a much-deserved win. First, Olivier Giroud opened the scoring with a record-breaking 52nd goal for Les Bleus; this took him beyond Thierry Henry as France’s all-time leading scorer. Then, Kylian Mbappe displayed his brilliance to steer his team through with two goals, taking his tally to five at the tournament.
Robert Lewandowski got a consolation at the death for Poland from the penalty spot, but that was the end of the road for them. France has now progressed from all six matches they’ve played in the round of 16 at all World Cup tournaments, including in each of the last three editions in a row, that is, in 2014, 2018, and now 2022.
