France continued its excellent performance in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and defeated Iraq 3-0. With this victory, two-time champion team France confirmed its place in the knockout stage. In this match played at the Philadelphia Stadium in Philadelphia on June 23 (Tuesday), the hero of France’s victory was star forward Kylian Mbappe, who played an important role in the team’s victory by scoring two goals. Osman Dembele scored the third goal for the team.
This match was in the news not only for France’s victory but also because of the bad weather. After the first half, due to heavy rain and storm warning, the match had to be stopped for more than two hours, the ground was flooded and the ground staff had to make a lot of efforts to restart the game. However, after a long wait the match started again and France maintained its strong hold.
Playing his 100th international match kylian mbappe Gave France an early lead by scoring a goal in the 14th minute. After this, in the second half he scored another goal in the 54th minute and made the score 2-0. Taking advantage of the mistake of Iraqi defender Zaid Tahseen, Mbappe scored this goal. Later, Ousmane Dembele also sealed France’s victory by scoring a goal.
Beat Brazilian legend Ronaldo
With two goals in this match, Kylian Mbappe took his total number of goals in the World Cup to 16. With this, he equaled Germany’s great Miroslav Klose and left behind Brazil’s great striker Ronaldo. Now ahead of him is only Argentina captain Lionel Messi, who has 18 goals in his name in the World Cup.
France is considered among the strong contenders to win the tournament. The French team, which won the World Cup in 2018 and will reach the final in 2022, looks to be a strong contender for the title this time too. The presence of players like Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Desiree Douay makes the team more dangerous.
On the other hand, this match was disappointing for Iraq in many ways. The team’s star striker Aymen Hussain got injured and left the field in the 26th minute. Ali al-Hamdi was fielded in his place. Iraq is playing in the World Cup for only the second time and now the journey ahead has become very difficult for them.
