Qatar 2022: France becomes first country to qualify for World Cup’s Round of 16

France have become the first nation to qualify for the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup.

Kylian Mbappe scored a brace as the defending champions beat Denmark 2-1 on Saturday.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward opened the scoring just after the hour mark, after he played a neat one-two with Theo Hernandez.

But the Danes levelled the score through Andreas Christensen’s bullet header.

Mbappe then grabbed a winner late in the game, converting Antoine Griezmann’s cross to ensure Les Bleus maintain a 100% record in Qatar.

The 23-year-old is now the outright top scorer at the tournament and also has 31 goals for France, level with Zinedine Zidane on the country’s all-time scoring list.

Didier Deschamps’ men are top of Group D on six points, three ahead of second-place Australia, while Denmark are yet to find their first win with just a point after two games.
