PSG forward Mbappe — aged 19 years and 183 days — underlined his rich talent and claimed his place in the French record books when he poked home in the first half.
Didier Deschamps’ side faces Denmark on Tuesday with the top spot in Group C up for grabs but progress to the next stage assured.
In contrast, Peru meets Australia with its fate sealed and just pride to play for in front of its passionate and large following that has visited Russia. Some Peru fans were in tears even before kick-off — a generation of Peruvians have never known their country in the World Cup before.
The South Americans’ last appearance was in 1982 and they made this like a home game, ensuring their red and white dominated the Yekaterinburg Arena. That included the two enormous temporary stands that stretch high above both ends, exposed to the elements, where Peru fans bobbed and bounced to keep warm.
Paul Pogba, the Manchester United midfielder who, a few days ago, called himself “the most criticised player in the world”, flashed a drive wide and defender Raphael Varane did the same off a header. After 15 minutes, Pogba and France began to impose themselves.
Antoine Griezmann drove straight at goalkeeper Pedro Gallese after Olivier Giroud — starting in place of Ousmane Dembele — set up the Atletico Madrid forward.
Deschamps had clearly told his side, disappointing while beating Australia 2-1 in the opener, to go long and use Giroud’s physicality.
Peru, unfortunate to lose 1-0 to Denmark in its first game, took until the half-hour to have its first serious chance, with recalled skipper Paolo Guerrero stinging the legs of Hugo Lloris. The French skipper, making his 100th appearance for his country, was a bystander for long periods.
In the 34th minute, France ahead. Pogba cleverly played in Giroud, his shot took a deflection and looped over Gallese, allowing Mbappe to stab into an open net.
- France are unbeaten in their past eight World Cup fixtures against Conmebol opposition (W4 D4).
- They have kept a clean sheet in each of their past seven World Cup games against South American sides - last conceding in a World Cup quarter-final against Brazil in 1986.
- Peru are winless in their past eight World Cup matches (D2 L6), scoring just two goals in this run.
- France have qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup for the sixth time in their past eight appearances in the competition - only failing to in 2002 and 2010.
- Peru are just the second South American side to fail to qualify for the World Cup knockout stages in the last three tournaments - the other being Ecuador in 2014.
- Ricardo Gareca's side have attempted 27 shots without scoring at the 2018 World Cup finals; only Morocco (28) have had more without a goal.
- Kylian Mbappe has been directly involved in eight goals in his past nine games for France (four goals, four assists).
- He has become the youngest player to ever score a goal for France at a major tournament (19 years, 183 days).
- Mbappe is the first player born after France's 1998 World Cup triumph to score a goal at the finals.
- French captain Hugo Lloris is the seventh player to reach 100 caps with France - keeping a clean sheet in this match
