Qatar World Cup 2022: Argentina beat France and win the World Cup

A strong match between France and Argentina in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar ended with the victory of the Argentine national team.

Argentina won the World Cup, after beating France on penalties.

Argentina and France, the defending champions, went into overtime after they tied 2-2 in the regular time of the match. The two teams then resorted to penalty kicks after a tie in the two overtime periods.

The "Tango" team advanced in the 23rd minute, after the referee awarded him a penalty kick following a mistake by Osman Dembele against Angel Di Maria inside the area, which Lionel Messi translated as a goal, raising his tally to six.

And Di Maria himself returned to add the second goal for Argentina in the 36th minute, after a series of wonderful passes that Messi started from the middle of the field and ended with a cross from Alexis McAllister, which Di Maria successfully followed up against Hugo Lloris.

Ten minutes before the end of normal time, France narrowed the difference with a penalty kick, which was translated by its star, Kylian Mbappe, after a mistake by Nicholas Otamendi on substitute Randall Kolo Mwani (80).

A minute later, Mbappe scored a wonderful goal with a volley, equalizing the numbers (81) and raising his tally to seven goals.

In the 110th minute of the match, Lionel Messi scored the third goal for Argentina.

In the 118th minute, the French national team returned to equalize the match, after Kylian Mbappe scored the third goal for his country.

In the penalty shootout, Argentina won by scoring four goals against the French national team.

The French national team participated in the World Cup for the sixteenth time in its history, and appeared since the start of the tournament in a distinguished way and a wonderful performance, as it deservedly reached this role after its victory in the semi-finals against Morocco with two goals without a response.

The French "Roosters" team, the champion of the last edition of this match, prepared with high concentration and high morale, as it fought fiercely to seize the victory in order to win the third title in its history and the second in succession as the third team to achieve the title in two consecutive editions after Brazil and Italy.

On the other hand, the beginning of the Argentine national team was not promising for its fans and fans of the star Lionel Messi, as it fell into the trap of losing its first match in the group stage against Saudi Arabia with two goals to one, but then continued its way to restore its balance in a wonderful way and fought until it reached the final match.
