World Cup - Hugo and France into quarter-finals

It was a rollercoaster ride of a match to kick-off the knockout phase of the tournament in Kazan.

France took the lead through Antoine Griezmann but Angel Di Maria levelled spectacularly from 30 yards before the break.

Argentina then took the lead when Lionel Messi's shot was diverted home by Gabriel Mercado but France hit back to level through a stunning strike from Benjamin Pavard. They took control from there and two quick goals from Kylian Mbappe saw them into a 4-2 lead.
