EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (AP):

Kylian Mbappé scored twice to move past Pelé and Lionel Messi with 14 World Cup goals, Bradley Barcola added another, and France rebounded from a surprisingly poor first half to beat Senegal 3-1 yesterday in their opener.

Mbappé had 14 touches in the scoreless first half, the fewest of any player, then showed his brilliance when he put Les Bleus ahead in the 66th minute. He burst past Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly, turned onto a diagonal pass from Michael Olise, and slid the ball past goalkeeper Édouard Mendy from just outside the six-yard box.
