After nearly 2 hours of play being suspended because of the lightning storm that hit Philadelphia, France extended their lead to 2-0 against Iraq (Dembélé made it 3-0).
The Europeans’ second goal was once again scored by Mbappé, who had already found the Iraqi net in the first half.

But this time, France’s star was handed a real gift by the opposing defense, which made a huge mistake while trying to play out from the back.
With that, Mbappé reached 16 goals in 16 World Cup matches, moved past Ronaldo Fenômeno (15), drew level with Miroslav Klose (16), and closed right in on Lionel Messi (18).
On social media, both the goal and the French star’s achievement got users buzzing.
60 goals in 100 matches for the France national team. France’s all-time top scorer!
