Coming to the match, the World Cup final between Argentina and France went into extra-time on Sunday after the French roared back from two goals down to bring the score to 2-2.
Lionel Messi stroked home a 23rd minute penalty and Angel Di Maria swept home a superb second for Argentina but defending champions France hit back in the second half as Kylian Mbappe converted an 80th-minute penalty and equalised with an acrobatic volley a minute later.
