MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) – Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 surpassed Lionel Messi as the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 22 goals, scoring twice for France. lost to England 6-4<\/span> in the third place match on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mbappe finished the World Cup with 10 goals, two ahead of Messi in the race for the Golden Boot, which is given to the tournament’s top scorer. If Argentina remains ahead of Messi after they face Spain in Sunday’s final, he will become the first player to win the Golden Boot award twice.<\/p>\n

France, in which Mbapp\u00e9 played, defeated England 4-0. flicked a shot past goalkeeper Dean Henderson<\/span> At 48 minutes. after that he defeated Henderson again<\/span> In the 66th minute, he scored a left-footed strike from about 14 yards, surpassing Messi’s career mark of 21 goals.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9’s second goal gave France a 4-3 lead. Les Bleus lost to Spain in the semi-finals, missing out on a chance to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup final.<\/p>\n

Mbappe scored eight goals in the Qatar tournament four years ago to win the Golden Boot award, but France lost on penalties to Messi and Argentina in the final.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 started the game, but his quest for the Golden Boot appeared to be going nowhere as France led 4-0 at half-time. England stars Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham were not in the team’s starting XI, but Bellingham came on as a substitute and scored late in stoppage time. He finished the tournament with seven goals, one more than Kane.<\/p>\n
