The real story, beyond Mbapp\u00e9&#8217;s record-breaking brace, belonged to the 23-year-old winger. One assist. Four chances created. Two big chances. FIFA Man of the Match on his World Cup debut. Just like that, Olise arrived on football&#8217;s biggest stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Numbers That Demand Attention<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The statistics paint a complete picture. One hundred percent shot accuracy from two attempts. Fourteen passes into the final third. Six of nine ground duels won. Two of three successful dribbles completed. For a World Cup debut against an organised, physical Senegal side, those numbers are remarkable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olise&#8217;s passing was clean and purposeful, completing 51 of 57 passes for an 89 percent accuracy. His vision showed in four key passes, and he produced two big chances, underlining how frequently he put teammates into prime scoring spots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">France laboured through a difficult first half. The game changed in the second half as France created close scoring opportunities through Olise and D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9. Then came the defining moment. In the 66th minute, Olise threaded a superb through ball to captain Mbapp\u00e9, who made no mistake in front of goal. Assist delivered. Record unlocked. The chemistry between the two Bayern teammates translated instantly to the international stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Star Built for Moments Like This<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a subdued first half from France, Olise came to life after the break, producing several moments of brilliance and providing the creative spark Didier Deschamps&#8217; side had been lacking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olise saw plenty of the ball with 76 touches, a healthy volume for a right-sided midfielder. His heat map showed him active across the right flank and half spaces. Versatile, direct, and composed under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sergio Ag\u00fcero had predicted Olise would be one of the tournament&#8217;s revelations. After one game, that assessment already looks accurate. Mbapp\u00e9 himself heaped praise on his club teammate after the final whistle, recognising the role Olise played in unlocking Senegal&#8217;s stubborn defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">France return to action on June 22, taking on Iraq as they continue their Group I campaign. If Olise produces more of Tuesday&#8217;s brilliance, France fans might have found their tournament&#8217;s breakout star.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France kicked
