Nicolas Jackson&#8217;s powerful shot hit the post, while Ismaila Sarr missed a golden chance.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, France played aggressively. Bradley Barcola gave France the lead, followed by a brilliant goal from Mbappe to strengthen their advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Senegal&#8217;s Ibrahima Mbaye attempted to create excitement with a goal, but in extra time, Mbappe&#8217;s long-range shot dashed Senegal&#8217;s hopes of a comeback.
