Mbappé’s Brace Fires France to 3-0 Win Over Iraq After Storm Delay

On a storm-hit evening in Philadelphia, Kylian Mbappé celebrated his 100th appearance for France with two goals in a 3-0 victory over Iraq. The match at Lincoln Financial Field was halted for over two hours when a severe storm swept through, sending tens of thousands of fans to covered areas. Play resumed with Mbappé opening the scoring in the 14th minute. Nine minutes after the restart, a defensive error set up Mbappé’s second strike. Ousmane Dembélé then wrapped up the win in the 66th minute to keep France’s perfect record in Group I. Mbappé has now scored 60 goals in 100 caps and 16 World Cup goals in 16 matches. Les Bleus are assured of progression and will face Norway next, while Iraq face early elimination after two defeats.
