The Zioneer publishes full coverage of the World Cup third-place match, reporting that Michael Olise surpassed Pelé's all-time tournament goals record and Kylian Mbappé overtook Lionel Messi, as France fell 6-4 to England, according to the report.
The Zioneer's full coverage of last night's third-place match, published this morning (Sunday, 07:52 Jerusalem), adds a new milestone: Michael Olise surpassed Pelé's all-time World Cup goal tally. This record was not mentioned in our earlier brief bulletins, which focused on Kylian Mbappé's brace and the final score.
Earlier today (01:37 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported that Mbappé scored twice to reach 22 career World Cup goals, overtaking Lionel Messi's 21, and that England defeated France 6-4 to secure third place. Those reports, attributed to sports journalist Ben Goldfriend (N12), did not include Olise's achievement. The new detail emerges from the same comprehensive report.
As The Zioneer noted on June 22 (22:02 Jerusalem), Messi had earlier set the all-time World Cup scoring record with 18 goals. Both Mbappé and Olise have now surpassed that mark in the same tournament. The full article provides a statistical breakdown and historical context for the records.
No further unverified claims remain; the records are confirmed in the published report.
