EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., June 30 : Kylian Mbappe scored twice as France swept aside Sweden 3-0 in the World Cup round of 32 on Tuesday, maintaining their perfect record of four wins from four and setting up a last-16 meeting with Paraguay.
• Mbappe opened the scoring in the 45th minute, cutting in from the left and driving a fierce shot inside the far post.
• Michael Olise turned provider eight minutes into the second half, threading a pass through for Bradley Barcola, who fired into the top corner to double the lead.
• Mbappe sealed the win in the 74th minute, racing on to another incisive Olise pass to beat the offside trap and curl a first-time effort beyond the keeper.
• It was his 18th goal in 18 World Cup matches, a record 10 of those in knockout games.
