Goalless first half before France take control
France only needed a win to qualify early, yet they struggled to break through in the first half, entering halftime at 0–0. After the break, Ukraine’s defense collapsed. In the 53rd minute, Olise was fouled inside the box, earning a penalty. Mbappe stepped up and calmly chipped in a beautiful panenka, giving France a 1–0 lead and setting off celebrations among punters on 12BET Malaysia.
Mbappe fires twice to secure the match
In the 76th minute, Olise scored to make it 2–0. Seven minutes later, Mbappe orchestrated a dangerous attack, his teammates’ shot was saved, and Mbappe followed through to tap in the rebound.
His brace pushed France to a 3–0 lead, effectively sealing the win—exactly the kind of decisive moment fans expect when placing bets on 12BET Malaysia.
Late assist caps Mbappe’s perfect night
In the 88th minute, Mbappe provided an assist for Hugo Ekitike, completing a dominant 4–0 victory. Mbappe’s statistics were incredible: 10 shots, 4 on target, 2 goals, 1 assist, and a 93% passing accuracy.
It was a performance worthy of the title “World’s No. 1.”
Mbappe becomes youngest 400 goal scorer of the century
With his two goals tonight, Mbappe reached a monumental milestone—400 career goals. At 26 years and 328 days, he breaks Lionel Messi’s record (27 years and 95 days), becoming the youngest player this century to hit the 400-goal mark.
In French football history, only Thierry Henry and Karim Benzema had previously reached this number. Mbappe now joins them in an elite club celebrated by fans on 12BET Malaysia.
Market value expected to rise again
This season, Mbappe has played 23 matches and scored 24 goals—a world-class level of consistency. Transfermarkt is widely expected to raise his valuation from €180 million back toward €200 million, potentially making him the world’s most valuable player once more.
Third World Cup awaits the French superstar
Next year will mark Mbappe’s third World Cup appearance. At 19, he won the trophy. At 23, he delivered a legendary hat-trick in the final but lost the title. At 27, in the USA–Canada–Mexico World Cup, the world waits to see what new brilliance he will bring.
