The 2022 World Cup finals is considered to be one of the most interesting of all time. The match took a different tempo when Lionel Messi put his side ahead in the first half. In the second half, France's Kylian Mbappé retaliated with the first goal via a penalty. He later levelled up with an equaliser against Argentina to make it 2-2. This situation brought tension on both fans and with President of France watching keenly.
How it happened
The South American side took the lead half-way through the first half, after a foul in the box by France winger Ousmane Dembele, and that led to Messi score his sixth goal of the tournament from the penalty spot.
Later, a thrilling counter-attack down the right flank through Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister to feed Angel Di Maria, led to Argentina's second goal.
In the second half, France pulled back a goal after a foul on Kolo Muani led to another penalty, which was slotted home by Kylian Mbappe.
Just 90 seconds later, it was Mbappe again, putting France level with a stunning volley.
The score was 2-2 after full-time forcing an extra 30 minutes of play to decide the result.
