Updated: Jun 22, 2026 - 9:49 PM ET

France officially punched their ticket to the knockout stage, putting the terrifying depth of their world-class attack on full display. 

The match was paused for two hours due to weather delay but that didn't slow down Kylian Mbappé as he netted a brace, tying him for second on the all-time World Cup goalscorer list with Miroslav Klose. Ousmane Dembélé provided the third clinical strike to completely dismantle the Iraqi defense.

Iraq will look to quickly bounce back and hunt for their very first World Cup point in the group stage against Senegal on June 26. while Les Bleus will square off against Norway on the same day.
