What was the final score after extra time in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final?

The story behind the answer

The final score after extra time in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final was 3–3 between Argentina and France.

Argentina appeared to have control after Lionel Messi converted a 23rd-minute penalty and Ángel Di María made it 2–0 in the 36th minute. France then produced a remarkable late recovery: Kylian Mbappé scored a penalty in the 80th minute and equalised again roughly two minutes later.

Messi restored Argentina’s lead in the second period of extra time, scoring after goalkeeper Hugo Lloris had parried a Lautaro Martínez shot. France still refused to lose. In the 118th minute, Mbappé completed his hat-trick from another penalty after the ball struck Gonzalo Montiel’s arm.

The 3–3 score sent the final to a shootout, where Argentina won 4–2. Thus, 3–3 describes the match after 120 minutes, while 4–2 is the shootout result—not the score after extra time. Mbappé became only the second man to score a World Cup final hat-trick.
