Kylian Mbappé marked his 100th international cap with a brace as France swept aside Iraq 3-0 to secure their place in the last 32 of the tournament, overcoming a lengthy two-hour delay caused by a severe storm.

The milestone appearance proved memorable for Mbappé, who now stands second on the all-time World Cup goalscoring list with 16 goals — a remarkable achievement for the France captain.

His double drove a dominant France performance that left Iraq with no answer, as Les Bleus controlled the match from start to finish once play finally got under way.

The storm interruption had threatened to disrupt France's rhythm, but Mbappé and his teammates showed no signs of rustiness when the action resumed, producing a clinical display to put the result beyond doubt.

With their passage to the next round now confirmed, France will look to build on this commanding victory as the competition moves deeper into the knockout stages.
