At the beginning of the second half it is still the midfielder of Real Madrid to commit Casteels, while at 54′ it lights up Mbappé who beats three by finishing high from the edge of the area. Belgium once again appears in the area of Maignan with a left of Lukaku, a little later he is still the goalkeeper of the Milan to save the French goal before the lead in the 85th minute. Through ball into the penalty area by Kante per Muani City, right crossed and decisive deflection of Vertonghen who displaces his goalkeeper by sending the ball forward France.
