In the second half, France upped their game as after two fine saves from Eduard Mendy, Mbappé gave the two-time champions the lead in the 66th minute while Bradley Barcola doubled the lead in the 81st minute less than 120 seconds after coming on. 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye scored in the 95th minute before Mbappe added a third for France a minute later.
The two teams played a goalless first half, but Senegal was the dominant team as they missed two big chances as Nicolas Jackson hit the post and Ismaïla Sarr missed a sitter. The African country had a better XG as well as more shots, more shots on target, and more big chances.
