Kylian Mbappé Struggles Against Spain in First Half of FIFA World Cup Semi-Final
Kathmandu. In the FIFA World Cup semi-final against Spain, the first half looked disappointing for French captain Kylian Mbappé.
Mbappé, considered the world's best forward, was completely 'locked' by the Spanish defense, making him struggle on the field. In the first 45 minutes, Mbappé touched the ball only once inside the opponent's penalty box. Interestingly, he was caught offside twice, more than the number of times he touched the ball inside the box.
Mbappé's body language on the field looked very dissatisfied. Because the Spanish team kept France under pressure in their own half, it was difficult for the ball to reach Mbappé. In the 43rd minute of the game, it seemed like Mbappé had a good chance. However, Spain's goalkeeper Unai Simón came far out of his box and cleared the ball with a sliding tackle before Mbappé.
For France, who are trailing by one goal, the second half has now become a test.
