In one of the most exciting World Cup contests in memory, the Argentinians prevailed over a team of determined footballers from France. The game went into the required 2 overtime periods after 2-2 tie in regular time. With the score 2-0 Argentina late in the game, France came up with a penalty kick that put them on the board 2-1. Within 90 seconds, the young star Kylian Mbappe put another ball in the net to tie the contest and send the fans into a French frenzy.
In overtime, Lionel Messi put in a goal for his team with 9 minutes to play. And then, another pk for Frence and Mbappe put the ball into the net to tie with less than 3 minutes to go.
And then the shootout for the win. Each team put their first shot into the goal, Messi scoring for Argentina, Mbappe scoring for Les Bleus. And then, the Argentine goalie worked his magic, blocking a shot and the next French shot went wide. Argentina did not miss, winning the contest 4-2 on pk's. Messi now has his world championship to put on the wall.
