France advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Cup by defeating Paraguay 1-0 in a tightly contested match at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The sole goal came from Kylian Mbappé, who scored in the 70th minute after a penalty converted by him following a foul on Desgagné Doué. Despite dominating possession (81-19%) and earning seven corners in the first half, France struggled to break down Paraguay's defensive line led by goalkeeper Orlando Hil. Mbappé's two late chances were saved by Hil, preventing an additional goal. France will now face Morocco in the quarter-finals.
