Mbappé Shines as France Defeats Iraq 3-0 in World Cup

In a World Cup match held in Philadelphia, Kylian Mbappé scored two goals, leading France to a 3-0 victory over Iraq. The match, which took place on a Monday, was delayed for two hours due to severe storms, causing a surreal atmosphere as fans sought shelter.

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute and added another goal in the second half, bringing his World Cup total to 16 goals, just two behind Lionel Messi's record of 18. Ousmane Dembélé also contributed with a goal.

The match was attended by a crowd of 68,324 at Lincoln Financial Field, and France's win followed their earlier 3-1 victory over Senegal. Iraq, having lost both of their opening matches, faces the prospect of early elimination from the tournament.
