On penalties, the South American team defeated France 4-2.

Argentina received a penalty for the foul committed by Ousmane Dembele against Angel Di Maria. Hugo Lloris was forced to make a mistake when Messi stepped up and fired into the right side of the goal.

In the 36th, Argentina increased their lead to 2-0. Angel Di Maria was there to provide a brilliant finish after Messi flicked the ball to Julian Alvarez to his right.

Mbappe equalised the score a minute later after a well-executed goal by Les Bleus.

In the 109th minute, the magician Lionel Messi earned Argentina a 3-2 advantage once more. Although Lautaro Martinez’s attempt was palmed away, Messi was there to grasp the opportunity once more. A France defender was able to block his shot, but he was far behind the goal line.

As an Argentine player’s arm blocked Mbappe’s shot in the box in the 117th minute, France was awarded a penalty. In order to complete his hat-trick, he put in the penalty.

Argentina won their third FIFA World Cup while Argentina won two of the four penalty shootouts between France and Argentina.
