France earn a win that knocks Peru out of the tournament
France did all they needed to in the first half as their attack looked potent and Kylian Mbappe's easy finish was the goal that got them the win. Though they did not control the ball in the second half and rarely attacked, they got the 3 points and that's what matters. With those three points, France have booked their spot in the Round of 16. France will play Denmark in a fight for the top spot in the group.
Peru has suffered the reverse fortune of France. With this loss they are knocked out of the tournament and will play their last match against Australia for pride. Fans and commentators will say they are unlucky to lose this game and get knocked out of the tournament. Though they did play well and attacked frequently, they lacked that final shot or pass that will get them a goal. They are scoreless through their first two games.
