France's draw came immediately. At minute 66, Karim Benzemá scored one of the goals of the championship. The Real Madrid striker received the ball at the apex of the area, to put the shot with a direct thread to the angle. Unai Simón made a spectacular flyby and got to touch the ball, but the shot was unstoppable.

France managed to turn the game around at minute 80. Theo Hernández drove the ball from the left side and put the pass between the lines for Kylian Mbappé, who made the diagonal to get to the mark. The PSG star defined in front of the goalkeeper to put the world champions to win at the end of the game.
