Kylian Mbappe produced yet another scintillating display as France further strengthened their World Cup winning credentials in New Jersey.
Didier Deschamps men are well-fancied to secure a third crown in the United States this summer, and they looked genuine contenders in every way as they dispatched of a Sweden side who, in truth, did little wrong.
The only little bit of regret for France will be that they didn't win the game even more comprehensively - on another night they would have bagged six or sevem, but on this occasion, the three proved to be more than sufficient.
Mbappe's fifth and sixth goals of the tournament either side of a Bradley Barcola effort were enough to seal the victory and set-up a last 16 showdown with Paraguay, after the South American side stunned Germany on Monday.
