The forward effortlessly danced past Ghanaian defender, Nathaniel Adjei, before slotting a pass through for his teammate, who scored one of the easiest goals he would ever score in his career.

Mbappe’s brilliant performance continues to elicit reactions from fans who are in awe of the forward's dazzling display.
