Mbappe: It's a dream to get my first goal in a World Cup FIFA World Cup 2018 Scored in France's 1-0 win over Peru

French striker Kylian Mbappe described it as a dream to have scored his first goal in a World Cup, although he is focused on getting many more in Russia.

Mbappe became the youngest France player to score a goal in a World Cup as he put his side 1-0 ahead against Peru in Ekaterinburg.

With an age of 19 years, six months and one day, Mbappe broke the record of the French-Argentine David Trezeguet, who in 1998 scored against Saudi Arabia aged 20 years and 246 days.

"I am very happy, I always said that the World Cup is a dream for any player, also for me," he said after being elected man-of-the-match.

"It's a dream come true, but I hope I can score more goals."

Beyond the goal, the Paris Saint-Germain striker also contributed to defensive duties when Peru pressed hard in search of a draw.

"If the team needs it, you have to sacrifice yourself, but it's not a sacrifice, you're contributing things to the team," he said.

France coach Didier Deschamps praised Mbappe as well.

"Bravo, bravo," he said when asked to choose a word to define Mbappe's match. "I am happy for him, he is young, he scored a goal in the World Cup.

"He was able to show his speed, his ability in the tournament, he also helped the team and I am very, very satisfied and happy with what he has done."
