The Argentine team was much superior during a good part of the 90 regulation minutes. They won 2-0 and it seemed that they would have no major problems to win the game. However, France reacted and thanks to two goals from Mbappe, they equalized the game at 2-2, a result that forced extra time to play.

There Argentina, who for a moment had many doubts, returned to take control of the game and put themselves back on top with only 7 minutes to go. However, France did not give up and managed to level the score with 2 minutes remaining. On penalties, the Argentines got their 3rd title.
