There was to be no final, dramatic twist in a World Cup which has been full of joyous surprises and jaw-dropping late drama.
世界杯的决赛没有发生充满欢喜和令人瞠目结舌的戏剧性的转折。
Twenty years after France won the first World Cup in its country’s history, a youthful Les Bleus side beat Croatia 4-2 in Moscow to win football’s most prestigious prize for the second time.
时隔二十年,法国队再次捧起大力神杯,年轻的蓝色军团以4:2的比分在莫斯科击败克罗地亚,第二次赢得足球界最有声望的奖项。
This was the highest-scoring final since 1966 and an entertaining climax a wonderful tournament deserved. In 90 high-octane minutes there was a controversial VAR decision, an own goal, record-breaking feats and a pitch invasion and an underdog pushing a heavyweight to its limit.
自1966年以来此次比赛是世界杯总决赛得分最高的一次比赛,这是自1966年以来得分最高的决赛, 同时也将世界杯最后一场比赛推向高潮。在90分钟的激动人心的比赛中有争议的视频辅助裁判决定、有乌龙球、有破纪录的壮举、也有观众冲入球场以及克罗地亚球员突破身体极限的表演。
A Mario Mandzukic’s own goal and a controversial Antoine Griezmann penalty either side of Ivan Perisic’s wonderful long-range strike gave France a 2-1 lead at the break.
马里奥.曼祖基奇的乌龙球、安东尼.格里兹曼有争议的判罚及伊万.佩里西奇的长距离射门使法国队2:1领先。。
Arguably, France was undeservedly ahead but by the hour Les Bleus had scored two further goals, through Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe, to put France in command and the result in little doubt.
可以说此时的法国队并不确保能保持住领先优势,但在保罗.博格巴和基利安.姆巴佩最近两球后,蓝衣军团锁住了比赛胜局,结果毫无悬念。
A dreadful error by captain Hugo Lloris allowed Mandzukic to reduce the deficit in the 69th minute and though Croatia went in search of more goals in the closing 20 minutes,France refused to fold.
比赛第69分钟乌戈.洛里斯发生失误,曼朱基奇抢断后再进一球,克罗地亚扳回一城。尽管克罗地亚在最后的20分钟里继续寻找更多进球机会,但没有任何机会。
Mbappe, aged 19 years and 207 days, also further cemented his status as the most exciting young talent in world football with a long-range strike which made him the second-youngest player to score in a final after Pele, who scored as a 17-year-old in 1958.
19岁207天姆巴佩作为世界足坛最令人兴奋的年轻天才在比赛中进一步巩固了他的地位,这使他成为继贝利之后的第二大最年轻的球员,后者在1958年的比赛中得分时17岁。
Deservedly, the Paris Saint-Germain star was named the competition’s best young player.
理所当然的这位巴黎圣日耳曼球星被评为最佳年轻球员。
