Then he turned on his pace to beat the defence and free himself up for a chance on Argentina goalkeeper Franco Armani. He buried the chance to give France the 3-2 advantage.That goal was momentous enough for Mbappe, who became the first teenager to score two goals at a World Cup finals since Michael Owen did so for England in 1998.Mbappe kept coming however. Four minutes after that, Olivier Giroud played a ball into space at the edge of the Argentina. Mbappe ran onto it and unleashed a low drive that beat Armani and settled into the back of the net to make it 4-2 France, and all but book his nation’s place in the quarter-finals.And with it, Mbappe also joined some elite company.Kylian Mbappe France Argentina World Cup 2018 300618While Mbappe faced off against a legend of the game in Messi, he matched another. No teenager had managed a brace in the World Cup in 60 years. The last one who did so, back in the 1958 World Cup, was Pele.<img src="https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/180630163613-kylian-mbappe-super-tease.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Pele actually did it twice in the 1958 tournament – first against France in the semi-finals, when he scored a hat-trick in a 5-2 victory.Then he did it again in the final, scoring twice in a 5-2 victory over Sweden which saw Brazil crowned champions for the first time.<img src="https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/67/590x/Lionel-Messi-France-Argentina-Kylian-Mbappe-981960.jpg?r=1530375904999" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />France will no doubt hope that a similar fortune awaits them as they move on to the next round to face off against either Uruguay or Portugal.</blockquote>
