France secured a 2-1 victory over Brazil in a friendly match held in Massachusetts, with Kylian Mbappe scoring his 56th international goal. This remarkable strike places him just one goal behind Olivier Giroud's all-time record for France.
Mbappe opened the scoring in the first half, latching onto a pass from Ousmane Dembele and skillfully chipping the ball over the goalkeeper. France extended their lead in the second half through Hugo Ekitike, assisted by Michael Olise.
Despite a red card for defender Dayot Upamecano and a late goal from Brazil's Bremer, France managed to hold onto their lead and secure the win. Mbappe was substituted before he could potentially equal the national scoring record.
France is scheduled to play another friendly against Colombia on March 29, where Mbappe will have another opportunity to match the record.
