The scoreline doesn’t indicate how well Croatia has played, but that won’t matter much to France -- who are on their way to their second World Cup title.
Second-half strikes from Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe have extended the Les Bleus lead to 4-1 with just under 25 minutes remaining, and France is in prime position to finish at the summit of the 2018 World Cup.
First, Pogba followed up his own rebound after a blocked shot at the top of the box in the 59th minute, and curled a left-footed effort into the goal.
Then, Mbappe followed up the effort with a brilliant strike towards the near post after some quality individual work to create a lane to shoot.
