Highlights from the Knockout Stage Match

France has advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup after a 3-1 victory over Poland in the knockout stage. The match featured an early flurry of shots from both teams, but it was France who took the lead in the 44th minute when Olivier Giroud scored his 52nd goal for his country, breaking the record for most goals scored by a French player.

Giroud's goal was followed by a second from Kylian Mbappé in the 74th minute, and Robert Lewandowski scored a consolation goal for Poland in the 90th minute. Mbappé then added his second goal of the match in stoppage time to seal the victory for France.

With the win, France advance to the quarterfinals, where they will face either England or Senegal. Poland's World Cup campaign ends with this loss.
