Giroud had equalised Henry’s record of 51 goals with a brace in France’s World Cup opener against Australia.
The AC Milan striker went past the record with a left-footed finish after he was teed up by a Kylian Mbappe.
The game also witnessed another piece of history as French captain and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris played a record-equalling 142nd international match.
The 35-year-old equalled Lilian Thuram’s record of being the most-capped male player for France. He also matched Thierry Henry and Fabien Barthez for the most World Cup appearances (17) for Les Blues.
