France defeats Sweden 3-0 to reach World Cup round of 16

France Sweden World Cup referee controversy Didier Deschamps

France advanced to the World Cup round of 16 by beating Sweden 3‑0. French forward Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring, and the team’s attacking quartet, including Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola, added further goals. Coach Didier Deschamps praised his players while urging calm, noting the team still had work to do despite the win.

Swedish players complained about the officiating, blaming Dutch referee Danny Makkelie for perceived missed calls that they felt contributed to the loss. Captain Victor Lindelöf and forward Viktor Gyökeres expressed frustration over what they called “soft” penalty decisions, while head coach Graham Potter declined to comment on the referees after the match.
