France beat Paraguay 1-0 in sweltering conditions to advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament. Multiple reports describe the match as played under extreme heat, creating a difficult “furnace” atmosphere. France struggle to break down Paraguay during the game but eventually make the difference in the second half. Kylian Mbappé converts a penalty awarded during the period, scoring the match’s only goal and keeping France in front. Paraguay does not manage to find an equaliser despite the pressure created by the late-game push. With the win, France progress to the quarter-final stage, where they are set to face Morocco. Both sources agree on the key result, the decisive penalty by Mbappé, the 1-0 scoreline, and the impact of the hot playing conditions on the match.
