Kylian Mbappe scored twice as France defeated Iraq 3-0 in a FIFA World Cup 2026 match disrupted by the tournament's first weather delay. Heavy rain and thunderstorms forced a stoppage of more than two hours in Philadelphia before Les Bleus completed a dominant victory. The win sends France into the knockout stage, while Mbappe's brace takes his World Cup tally to 16 goals, drawing level with Germany legend Miroslav Klose and moving him ahead of Brazil great Ronaldo on the all-time scoring list.
Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele also found the net in another impressive display from the French side. About NDTV (English news channel) NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within India and around the
