法国队长基利安·姆巴佩在对阵摩洛哥的比赛中进球，使其在本届赛事中的总进球数达到20个 [1]。这一成绩让他距离莱昂内尔·梅西保持的世界杯单届最佳射手纪录仅差一球 [1]。此外，姆巴佩以64粒国家队进球超越奥利维耶·吉鲁（57球），成为法国队史最佳射手 [1]。
在本场比赛中，姆巴佩追平了里奥·梅西的非点球进球数，两人均拥有17个非点球进球 [1]。他在2026年世界杯的总进球数也超越了朱斯特·方丹在1958年创造的法国队单届纪录（13球）[1]。姆巴佩以12粒淘汰赛进球成为世界杯历史上进攻表现最出色的球员之一，位列该阶段最佳射手 [1]。他还创造了新的历史记录，成为自1966年以来首位在两届不同世界杯中均贡献超过10次直接参与进球（含进球与助攻）的球员 [1]。
France captain Kylian Mbappé continued his historic run at the FIFA World Cup 2026 by scoring in France's quarter-final match against Morocco, further breaking personal and tournament records. With this goal, Mbappé reached a total of 20 goals for the tournament, leaving him just one strike short of Lionel Messi's all-time record [1]. In doing so, he equaled Messi to become the player with the most non-penalty goals in World Cup history, as both have scored 17 such goals [1].
Mbappé also surpassed Olivier Giroud (57 goals) to become France's all-time top scorer with 64 international goals for his country [1]. His performance at this tournament saw him break the French single-tournament record previously held by Just Fontaine, who scored 13 in 1958; Mbappé has now netted 20 goals in the World Cup so far [1]. Additionally, he established himself as the all-time leading scorer for knockout stages of the tournament with 12 goals [1].
The French forward also became only the second player since records began in 1966 to contribute more than 10 direct goal involvements (goals plus assists) across two different World Cups [1].
