Mbappe overtakes Giroud to become France's all time top scorer with brace in World Cup opener

Playing in France's opening match at New York New Jersey Stadium, Mbappe slid the ball past the goalkeeper in the 66th minute and scored his 58th international goal with a stunning strike in second half injury time.

"Congratulations, Kylian. You made it. I'm really happy for him," said Giroud, who was working as a pundit for the BBC. He added that Mbappe had promised him his shirt from the match.

Real Madrid striker Mbappe, aged 27, had been under intense scrutiny heading into the World Cup but came to life in the second half as France defeated Senegal 3-1 in Group I.

France next play Iraq on Monday in Philadelphia before facing Norway in their final group match on 26 June.
