France confirmed their place in the last 32 of the World Cup after defeating Iraq 3–0, led by two goals from captain Kylian Mbappé. The match, delayed by over two hours due to lightning concerns, saw France dominate from the start. Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error and a pass from Michael Olise. The goal marked his 15th in World Cup history, equaling Brazil’s Ronaldo.
In the second half, Mbappé doubled the lead in the 54th minute after a mistake by Iraq’s goalkeeper Basil, assisted by Ousmane Dembélé. Dembélé later sealed the victory in the 66th minute with a powerful shot from Olise’s pass. Mbappé, playing his 100th international match, narrowly missed a hat-trick when his late attempt went over the bar.
With this win, France, coached by Didier Deschamps, secured back-to-back victories in Group I and advanced early to the knockout stage.
