PARIS (Reuters) - Kylian Mbappe continued his meteoric rise on Saturday with another jaw-dropping performance as France qualified for next year's World Cup with an 8-0 demolition of Kazakhstan.

The Paris St Germain striker became the first player to score four goals for France in a single game since Just Fontaine against Sweden at the 1958 World Cup.

"It was a great night for him in terms of efficiency but he's had so many before," coach Didier Deschamps said. Mbappe's display was all the more impressive as he also set up Karim Benzema for the fourth goal, earning a perfect mark of 10 from French sports daily L'Equipe."Maybe one day a kid who's been watching me on TV will beat my records. I've always had this determination to leave a mark and I want to continue to do so.""I also want to salute his mindset. He could have scored a fifth goal but he let Antoine take the penalty.

"Since Benzema's comeback , it has been getting better and better. We especially saw the understanding between Mbappe and Benzema," former France international Maxime Bossis told L'Equipe.
