00:00You
00:04But savvy now smart of wit and movement they have set their sights high
00:22You
00:22T-night cap for France
00:24He is one goal shy of their all head of the Senegalese squad and four of this starting side were
00:31born in France
00:36Even the World Cup finalists find touch in the opposition's farm it's become a trend squeezing in
00:46From full-back here is Jouf, and Jouf lifts it in. He was headed away from in front of his
00:52own goal by Teo Hernandez
00:58Jackson, oh to sweet touch for as well as Saar, who's on the march here
01:04Was closed down determinedly by Uba Mekano
01:12Terrific defending because what a dangerous moment that was
01:18Full-back Diata
01:22That
01:22Okay, asking Saar to run onto it. It is Ismaila Saar
01:32Maybe
01:33Well, maybe
01:38Umar pain
01:40Shining off to Chouf
01:44Good green tackle and he set Jackson away here
01:49Nikolas Jackson has fired it against the base of the post and took a bit of the goalkeeper
01:56Super stuff from Diöf, winning the ball back and then providing the quality with a pass.
02:02I mean, it's a shot to nothing, really.
02:04You're always asking a lot to beat the keeper from there,
02:06but he very nearly does, Nicholas Jackson.
02:12Jackson lurking over the goalkeeper's shoulder.
02:15Ishmael Sarr right in front of him.
02:17Koulibaly there is a natural target too at the near post.
02:24And Karte bends his back, headed away to Kylian Mbappe, who couldn't progress.
02:31And then Dembele was put down.
02:38I've seen too much of Dembele so far.
02:44High foot from Lamine Kamara.
02:46Another good tackle from Diöf, not the first.
02:51He's with no route round Upa Meccano this time, but now he has another dance at it.
02:56And he's fed it here for Ishmael Sarr, who was never poised over his shot.
03:02Students of the game, whose input has had a massive influence on its development over many, many years.
03:11Ishmael Sarr.
03:15Saviour Mane.
03:25Could they?
03:28Could they?
03:37Which he was couldn't play, he was not sure.
03:40And rather twitched it behind for a corner.
03:43Looking at the far post, it was trying out for a classic near post, like this one.
03:50Camera.
04:10And it was the last kick of the half.
04:15I mean, the ball's bouncing up on him a touch, but even so, you've got to get your knee over
04:19it.
04:20Keep it down.
04:22It's an awful attempt in the end.
04:29Well, it has been a harm, shy of really good chances, but Nicholas Jackson hit a post for Senegal.
04:37So at the break, New York, New Jersey looks out on a scoreline that still reads.
04:42France nil, Senegal nil.
04:48To set the ball rolling, in the manner to which we are, increasingly accustomed now.
04:54Good luck.
05:04It's a good one.
05:06That's good, SNASH from Koundé.
05:08He's loaded up here for Michael Olisse!
05:14That's a terrific block flying off his line by Iguar Mendy.
05:17Isn't it just, thought he was just going to dig the ball over the unrushing keeper
05:23And a couple of moments at least they know early on in the second half
05:29That's a good ball
05:33It's over by Saar and sift it up here from Nicholas Jetson
05:36You have no route passed through to McConaughey
05:41Vinibaly
05:43Diata
05:46Saar
05:46Just beyond Jetson's reach
05:49Dewey from deep, Rabiot on the turn
05:53Bape from wide
05:55And he can threat from wide
05:56Keane and Bape on the charge
06:01That certainly was going to point to the spot
06:07Burst of pace
06:11Sadio Mane's sliding challenge, how much ball, how much man?
06:15No ball
06:16Sadio Mane's challenge
06:19And he's
06:21The attacker initiate the contact
06:24And the final decision is goal kick
06:26Yeah
06:30From Picano
06:33After a fashion with Mike Manuel
06:35That's worked out very nicely actually for Koundé
06:41Alise, sweetly away from Idrissa Gueye, Alise's pass and Mbappe couldn't connect, trying to put their team in front and
06:51they've come pretty close so far, beautifully timed run and pass, the faintest of connection that was required, Upe Meccano,
06:59it was a great position for Hernandez wasn't it, he didn't want to shoot with his right foot, the left
07:03foot did left back,
07:11Alise, lovely, on Mbappe, the superstar shines, this time he gets the decisive touch, you can't say they don't deserve
07:27it in this second half, they've been doing all the pushing,
07:32Hibby is now level, scored in 137 games, and there goes Mbappe again and he's not giving up on this,
07:45it's all away from him, certainly fans don't need to make any, Pat Chow might be thinking of it,
07:51at the top here for Ishmael Assar, it's Jackson and it's offside, that's why,
08:11they'll be there, part of that historically triumphant team,
08:19they'll be there, part of that in front, looking for more,
08:22and...
08:24Dwayo want to get involved, he's seen Alise pulling all the strings,
08:34Yay,
08:38Juve, see the ball to force the issue if they can,
08:44and now they can't, it's Rabiot,
08:47he's playing it through here for Bradley Bacala,
08:51who finishes,
08:53with style,
08:57that's touch, that's poise, that's presence,
09:01that's talent,
09:02and that is probably the points for France.
09:05I'll be telling I think in this World Cup,
09:07that he's taken this like he's just in training,
09:10messing about,
09:11yeah,
09:15hardly had chance to...
09:16...the centre ball might easily have taken the lead,
09:19with the last kick in the first half from Ishmael Assar,
09:21but since that shot which cleared the crossbar,
09:24they haven't had a shot.
09:26Oh!
09:28It's a kill away,
09:30he's in the mid GI.
09:33Bye.
09:35Oh, lovely feet,
09:36the goal is here!
09:37Fabulous!
09:44Well, that's it, the play side.
09:47That's a super goal.
09:49Well, we knew he was a talent,
09:50but he's just announced himself to the world here with that finish.
09:55Made everybody sit up and take notice.
09:59He did play international football for France on the seven teams.
10:05And he's safe.
10:08And Barca!
10:13There's a goal for the world!
10:17Stroked it home as if it's the easiest thing in the world.
10:22Quite amazing strike and finish that is.
10:28That kind of thing sets in air on his own.
10:31Norway match.
10:33Way to the NDI.
10:37Bye!
10:39Oh, it's going across the line!
10:42No one hasn't quite.
10:44Relief to Troomeini.
10:49Wow.
10:52Good job he's got long arms.
10:57Kylian Mbappe.
10:59Two words.
11:01No others really needed.
11:04He stole the show.
11:07Mbappe broke the deadline midway through the second half.
11:12Barca la added to it stylishly, barely off the bench.
11:16Mbappe grabbed one back for Senegal with a terrific strike of his own.
11:20But Mbappe insisted on the headlines.
11:22Mbappe insisted on the headlines.
11:23He wants to see what he's going to do before.
11:26He was able to receive as a witness on the agenda.
11:26He's prepared for them but now.
