France Ease Past Sweden 3-0 as Attacking Trio Clicks Into Gear
France made light work of Sweden in the last 32 of the 2026 World Cup, winning 3-0 in a match that felt considerably more one-sided than the scoreline suggested. Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembélé are increasingly looking like one of the most dangerous attacking units at the tournament — and, according to The Guardian, they are still very much finding their feet.
Mbappé opened the scoring with a curled finish after neat combination play involving Olise and Dembélé, having had an earlier effort ruled out for offside. Bradley Barcola made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute after an Olise through ball slipped cleanly between a defender’s legs. Mbappé then added the third in the 74th minute, slotting home an Olise pass to draw level with Lionel Messi at the top of the tournament’s scoring charts.
