The 2022 World Cup ends on Sunday with Argentina winning. Argentina got off to a strong start with a 2-0 lead over France, but Frenchman Kylian Mbappe quickly turned things around with two goals of his own in the second half. Argentinian star Lionel Messi broke the tie with a goal with minutes remaining and Argentina looked to seal the victory again - until Mbappe netted his third late penalty for his second hat-trick in World Cup final history. After an exciting penalty shootout, the Argentine team won. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez blocked France's second shot and French winger Kingsley Coman missed a penalty. The game ended 3-3, with Argentina leading 4-2 on penalties.
Argentina's campaign at this year's World Cup began with a disastrous defeat against Saudi Arabia. It looks like Messi's World Cup run is coming to an end soon. Instead, Argentina went on and won every game they played thereafter
Their opponents in the final and defending champions France dominated the match in Qatar. In the previous game, France struggled to maintain that momentum in the first half. After halftime, Mbappe's hat-trick almost turned the tide. The pressure came to a head in the penalty shootout, ruining France's scoring chances.
Croatia and Morocco also meet in this weekend's third-place battle. Croatia won 2-1 on Saturday. The defeat did not end Morocco's historic triumph as the first African and Arab team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
