ليل found themselves trailing against تولوز with the 90 minutes almost up. Their cause had, however, been aided by a late red card for Alexis Vossah. They were aware of the need to make that numerical advantage count.
سابق توتنهام and Newcastle midfielder Nabil Bentaleb restored parity in the final minute when he converted from the penalty spot, and there was still time for Lille to snatch all three points in the 98th minute.
Mbappe, who joined Lille as a free agent in 2024 after severing ties with باريس سان جيرمان during the same summer as Kylian, picked the perfect moment in which to register his first senior goal, with the 18-year-old stepping off the bench to make a decisive contribution.
There was plenty for him to do when a cross from the left was chipped towards the back post. Mbappe met the delivery on the half-volley from eight yards out, with it vital that he made a clean connection and kept his shot down. He did just that as the ball bounced into the top corner.
Wild celebrations were sparked, with Mbappe wheeling away in delight. His first instinct was to jump into the folded arms pose that has become synonymous with his كأس العالم-winning brother. Various other routines were worked through after opening his personal goal account in memorable موضة.
