World Cup 2018, France vs Peru Highlights Football Score: France Beat Peru 1-0 To Enter Last 16
FIFA World Cup 2018, Highlights France vs Peru: France beat Peru 1-0 in their Group C clash to enter last 16
Kylian Mbappe's goal gave France a 1-0 win over Peru in their Group C match at Ekaterinburg Arena in Ekaterinburg. With the goal, Mbappe became the first teenager in history to score for France at either the World Cup or European Championships. Successive wins over Australia and Peru helped France reach the last 16. The chance for Mbappe came in the 34th minute after Peru gave the ball away deep in their own half where Paul Pogba picked it up. Pogba played a pass to Olivier Giroud, whose low strike was saved by goalkeeper Pedro Gallese at first, but later fell nicely for Mbappe to slot into an open net from a yard out. France should have netted three or four but credit to some good goalkeeping by Peru's Gallese. N'Golo Kante, the France midfielder, was solid in the middle of the park as he made more tackles, interceptions and clearances than any other player in this first half. Paolo Guerrero had the best chance for Peru but a solid save by Hugo Lloris for France prevented them from getting on level terms.(Highlights: France vs Peru)

18:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of the second match of the day. Till then, you may follow our live blog updates from the first match between Denmark and Peru here.
Another defeat for Peru, who will again be sporting their distinctive red sash shirts, could spell the end of their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds, in their first World Cup since 1982. The 34-year-old striker Paolo Guerrero, who won a late reprieve to play in Russia after his drugs ban was overturned, came on for the last 30 minutes against Denmark and Peru's all-time leading goalscorer looks likely to start.
