Match highlights
Kylian Mbappé, France's star, stole the spotlight with a humane gesture after the Les Bleus friendly against Colombia on Sunday.
France earned a deserved 3-1 victory over Colombia in the friendly at Northwest Stadium as part of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
The match is part of the serious buildup for the eagerly anticipated World Cup edition to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
In the 78th minute Mbappé came on as a substitute for Marcus Thuram, as Didier Deschamps sought to give his captain minutes without overexertion, although a Real Madrid player scored in the 90+4 minute but the goal was ruled offside.
After the match, a Colombian supporter surged from the stands toward Mbappé to take a photo, but security tackled him and knocked him down.
ESPN posted a video showing the incident and Mbappé reaction, with the French captain insisting on shielding the young fan from security onrush.
The network praised Mbappé's stance, stating that Mbappé protected a young fan attacked by security while running onto the pitch to take a photo with the French star. Well done, Kylian.
