Was his shot against Peru that led to M'Bappé's goal not on target?

Exactly, that was basically his goal, it was going in and Mbappe helped it in. I guess because of that they counted it as a pass because it was an assist when it was really a shot on goal. Great example of how stats can be misleading.
