Kylian Mbappé scored in the 14th minute against Iraq on Monday in Philadelphia during France’s second group match at the 2026 World Cup. Following a pass from Michael Olise, the French captain unleashed a powerful strike from the edge of the box to open the scoring.

The goal came five days after a brace against Senegal (3-1), which allowed France to start the competition with a convincing victory. In that match, Mbappé had already broken Olivier Giroud’s international goal record, which stood at 57.

With this latest goal against Iraq, the Real Madrid striker brings his total to 59 goals in a France shirt. The occasion carries added significance: it marks his 100th cap for the French national team.
