What happened: Kylian Mbappe scored his 21st and 22nd career World Cup goals, first tying and then passing Lionel Messi's all-time World Cup scoring record. Mbappe now sits at 22 goals across his World Cup appearances, one clear of Messi's 21.
Why it matters: The record swap lands a day before Messi's Argentina plays Sunday's World Cup final, giving him a direct chance to answer back with goals of his own on the tournament's biggest stage. Mbappe has scored 9 goals in this tournament alone, the largest single-edition haul between the two.
By the numbers: Tournament goals: Mbappe 9, Messi 8. All-time World Cup goals: Mbappe 22, Messi 21.
What to watch: Messi and Argentina play the World Cup final Sunday at 3 p.m. ET, his last chance this tournament to add to his total.
