Paraguay vs France in the Round of 16, played July 4 in Philadelphia, finished 1-0 to France, decided by a VAR-awarded penalty converted by Kylian Mbappe, ending one of the tournament's best underdog runs. Paraguay, playing their first World Cup since 2010, had produced the tournament's biggest upset to that point, beating Germany 4-3 on penalties after Germany missed three spot kicks and had a goal disallowed by VAR in extra time. France, unbeaten through the group stage and a 3-0 win over Sweden, needed a penalty of their own to break down a stubborn Paraguay side.
