Mbappé Makes History with Sixth Multi-Goal World Cup Match
France captain Kylian Mbappé starred in a 3-0 win over Iraq in their second Group I game at the 2026 World Cup. A lengthy two-hour rain delay did little to stop him, as he opened the scoring in the 14th minute and added a second after play resumed. With his brace, Mbappé became the first player in World Cup history to score two or more goals in six different matches, a milestone no other star — including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo — has reached. Ousmane Dembélé wrapped up the victory in the 66th minute. The result sends France to the top of Group I with six points from two games and all but secures their place in the knockout stages. Mbappé is now tied with Miroslav Klose as the second-highest scorer in World Cup history on 16 goals. France face Norway in their final group fixture, and the 25-year-old forward looks set to extend his record-chasing run.
