France became the world's champions after defeating the 'undefeatable' Croatia with 4-2 in finals of the World Cup 2018 which was held in, Moscow, Russia on Sunday.
Antoine Grietzmann’s ball-in was wonderful, flat and left-footed. Mario Mandzukic, flicked a header into the top corner of his own net, a goal that gave France a 19th minute lead. On the 29th minute Croatia equalised through Ivan Perisic, an incredibly beautiful goal!
France took the lead on 38 minute through a penalty, after the referee checked the VAR. Grietzmann gave France a second goal. What a kick! Pogba's super strike in the 59th minute gave France its third goal, making it 3-1.
Paul Pogba started it with a brilliant ball towards Kylian Mbappe, he went downfield, and found Grietzmann who then teed up Pogba. His shot was blocked but the ball came back to him, and Pogba clipped home left-footed past an unsighted goalkeeper.
Kylian Mbappe scored the fourth goal in the 65th minute, making it 4-1. With the superb goal, Mbappe became the second teenager to score in a World Cup finale after the great Pele.
Danijel Subasic did not cover himself in glory in the Croatian goal, he took one step to his left and Mbappe dribbled into the other corner from about 22 yards.
Mandzukic reduced Croatia's tally in the 69th minute.France goalkeeper got a back-pass, tried to take a touch around Mandzukic, he dribbled him and put the ball into an empty net. Overconfidence, Croatia wouldn't have scored the second goal. It all ended well. Congratulations to the World's Champions!
