Kylian Mbappé’s Masterful Performance vs. Senegal By The Numbers

Kylian Mbappé is off to a roaring start at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. France’s superstar striker scored a pair of goals in Les Bleus’ 3-1 victory over Senegal in its World Cup opener on Tuesday, which moved him up a few all-time lists. Here’s Mbappé’s dominant performance by the numbers, with stats provided by FOX Sports Research. Mbappé By The Numbers 0: Despite the fact that Mbappé finished with a pair of goals, he didn’t register a shot in the first half. 1: Remarkably, Mbappé had just one touch in Senegal territory in the first half. 2: The number of goals that Mbappé finished with. Both of his goals came in the second half: the 66th minute and the sixth minute of stoppage time. 5: The number of shots on goal that Mbappé attempted, all of them coming in the second half. His five shots on goal were more than the entire Senegal team (three). 11: The number of goals Mbappé has scored in his last nine World Cup matches. 14: The number of goals Mbappé has scored in the World Cup (he has played for France in the 2018, 2022 and 2026 World Cups), which is tied with Gerd Müller (West Germany) for third all time in the men’s World Cup. Miroslav Klose (16 for Germany) is first, followed by Ronaldo (15 for Brazil) in second. 55.5: Mbappé’s five shots on goal accounted for 55.5% of France’s total shots on goal (nine). 58: Mbappé’s two goals now give him 58 career international scores, which is first in French history; he passed Olivier Giroud. 67: The number of seconds between Senegal forward Ibrahim Mbaye’s goal hitting the back of the net in the fifth minute of added time in the second half and Mbappé’s second goal hitting the back of the net in the sixth minute of added time.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Zac Brown Unveils Hidden Patriotic Design Inside Custom White House Performance Suit

Zac Brown is giving fans a closer look at the custom suit he wore while singing the national anthem at the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House over the weekend, and the patriotic surprise hidden inside the jacket is turning heads. 

In a video shared to Instagram, the Zac Brown Band frontman showed off the custom-designed suit, noting that “it’s all in the details.”

He kicked off the clip by praising the suit’s designer, declaring, “Mitch Purgason is a bada**.”

As Brown unveiled the special details, a woman believed to be his wife, Kendra Scott, could be heard off camera admiring the design.

“Check this out…America,” he says as he opens the jacket to reveal the custom image inside, which depicts the country hitmaker riding a bald eagle with an American flag and fireworks in the background. 

Scott laughs from behind the camera as Brown explains, “I might be riding an eagle inside my jacket.”

“:What about the shirt, show us the shirt,” she encourages him.

Brown then showed off custom stitching on his shirt that read “USA 250,” a nod to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States.

“So cool,” Scott compliments.

According to his website, Mitch Purgason is a custom clothing designer known for creating one-of-a-kind garments for celebrities, athletes, executives, and entertainers around the world. His clients include NFL stars such as Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Dak Prescott, and Cooper DeJean, as well as NASCAR drivers Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, and Tyler Reddick. He has also designed for artists including Zac Brown Band, Russell Dickerson, and Zach John King.

In 2024, Purgason made history as the first designer of the official Heisman Trophy Blazer, a custom piece that will be awarded to past and future Heisman winners for years to come.

Many fans took to the comments section to praise the look.

“The tailor for that suit is outstanding – not easy to match all the stripes – lining was incredible,” one user wrote.

Another shared, “You looked dapper and your performance of the National Anthem was amazing! Gave me goosebumps.”

Brown performed the National Anthem on Sunday on the White House lawn ahead of the UFC Freedom 250 event. Backed by the United States Marine Band, he delivered a powerful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” with a flyover adding to the moment at the conclusion of the performance.

Ahead of the event, Brown doubled down on his decision to perform, saying for him, “this is patriotism, not politics.”

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Brown explained why he chose to take part.

“Man, I’m there for the troops, man. I’m there to honor America… This is patriotism, not politics for me. I mean, f*** all the division. I don’t believe in that. I love this country. I love all the people that have sacrificed so that I can live my American dream and that everyone that lives here gets a chance to do that if they work hard, make the right decisions and do that. So it doesn’t have a place in politics for me,” he stated, later adding, “There’s going to be 8,000 active service members that are going to be there.”
