France advanced to the World Championship semi-finals with a commanding 3–0 victory over Sweden in a one-sided knockout encounter at the Stade de France. The hosts dominated possession at 61 per cent and converted their clinical finishing into a decisive result, with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice and Bradley Barcola adding a third. France's attacking prowess was evident in their 25 shots, of which 12 found the target, translating to an expected goals tally of 3.24—a figure their clinical conversion matched exactly. Sweden offered minimal resistance, managing just eight shots and three on target for 0.7 xG, whilst their goalkeeper faced a relentless barrage, saving 75 per cent of efforts but ultimately unable to prevent the onslaught. France's goalkeeper was untested, facing only three shots on target and recording a perfect save percentage. The tactical gulf between France's fluid 4–2–3–1 setup and Sweden's rigid 4–4–2 was stark, with the Swedes unable to generate meaningful attacking opportunities or disrupt their opponents' rhythm. France's clinical finishing and defensive solidity signal a formidable threat in the latter stages.
