CZFrance advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup by defeating Paraguay 1-0 in a penalty shootout during their match in Boston. The game was marked by unsportsmanlike conduct from Paraguay, who focused on a deep defensive block, deliberately slowed the pace, and provoked French players throughout the match. Despite several incidents involving physical contact and provocations, none of the Paraguayan players received yellow cards from Uzbek referee Tantašev. France's goal came from Kylian Mbappé in the 70th minute, securing their progression to the semifinals where they will face Morocco.
