France provokes and Paraguay loses its head: fight almost happens during the hydration break
Paraguay got angry after France's goal, generating tension during the hydration break.
After conceding the goal behind, Paraguay lost its head due to the provocations of the French. The tension increased on the field, in Philadelphia, during the second-half hydration break, which came shortly after Kylian Mbappé's penalty, putting France ahead. Several players from both teams, including the Real Madrid striker, got into heated arguments in the middle of the field, which were not broadcast on TV due to half-time publicity requirements. The situation calmed down after a few minutes, but it took the intervention of coach Didier Deschamps to resolve the confusion.
