What happened: Kylian Mbappe has scored his 16th career World Cup goal, drawing level with Miroslav Klose's longstanding tournament record. The milestone moves Mbappe into a tie for second on the all-time list, behind only Lionel Messi.
Why it matters: The record chase underscores Mbappe's standing among the great tournament scorers while he is still in the prime of his international career. With Messi having reset the all-time World Cup scoring record, the gap at the top has become a generational storyline of the tournament.
By the numbers: All-time World Cup goals: Messi 18, Mbappe 16 (tied with Klose's previous record of 16). Mbappe now sits two goals behind Messi for the outright lead.
What to watch: Watch whether Mbappe can find the two goals needed to overtake Messi as the tournament continues.
