PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kylian Mbappé scored twice to move into a tie for second place in career World Cup goals with 16, and France played through the tournament’s first rain delay to beat Iraq 3-0 on Monday and advance to the knockout stage.

Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé also scored for Les Bleus, giving fans who braved a rainy night in Philadelphia a reason to celebrate.

Mbappé scored in the 14th and 54th minutes to cap a momentous and soggy 100th international appearance for one of the best players in the world.
