France took a crucial lead against Senegal in the 66th minute through captain Kylian Mbappé after a well-worked attacking move.

EDnews reports that the goal came moments after France were denied a penalty appeal. Michael Olise then unlocked the Senegalese defense with a precise pass from outside the penalty area, finding Mbappé in space.

The French forward made no mistake, directing the ball past goalkeeper Édouard Mendy with a right-footed finish from close range at the edge of the six-yard box.

The goal gave France a 1-0 advantage as they continued to push for victory in a tightly contested encounter.

66 mins: France 1-0 Senegal.
