Mbappe netted early in both halves to take his World Cup goals tally to 16 in 16 games, two shy of Lionel Messi who broke Miroslav Klose's record hours earlier. France v Iraq became the first match at this World Cup to be interrupted by severe weather, with the second half beginning more than two hours after the first period ended because of lightning strikes in the area. Heavy rainfall earlier in the day had delayed supporters' entry to Philadelphia Stadium, although the match kicked off on time. France began strongly and their early dominance was rewarded in the 14th minute when Mbappe arrowed a left-footed strike into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area. But the 2018 champions struggled to create any clear chances after the first-half hydration break, with Iraq able to enjoy longer spells of possession despite losing striker and captain Aymen Hussein to injury. France emerged from the extended break with renewed conviction but were gifted a second goal - Iraq keeper Ahmed Basil failed to control a short goal-kick taken by defender Zaid Tahseen and Ousmane Dembele teed up Mbappe for a simple finish. Les Bleus had further chances to extend their lead - Adrien Rabiot missed a clear header and Michael Olise hit the crossbar with an audacious dink - before Dembele scored their third with a strike into the bottom corner. The goal - set up by a brilliant outside-of-the-foot pass from Olise - was Dembele's first for France at a major tournament in his 20th appearance. Iraq created two decent chances in the final 20 minutes, but defender Rebin Sulaka volleyed over from Zidane Iqbal's corner before Ali Al Hamadi couldn't get on the end of a teasing Marko Farji cross. Mbappe then raced clear late on and looked set to complete his hat-trick, but he lashed a left-footed effort high and wide. France, who are bidding to reach a third successive World Cup final, are top of Group I with six points while Iraq are bottom with zero.

Jordan were organised in defence against an Algeria side who dominated possession - and the underdogs took a first-half lead when Nizar Al Rashdan curled home. But Algeria piled on the pressure after the break and Nadhir Benbouali headed home an equaliser from Riyad Mahrez's 69th-minute corner. Amine Gouiri then netted an 82nd-minute winner for Algeria to deny Jordan their first World Cup point. Al Rashdan flashed a header wide of the near post inside 60 seconds but Algeria then took charge and Gouiri dragged a low shot wide while Fares Chaibi had a low shot blocked from Ibrahim Maza's cut-back. Mahrez, making his first World Cup start since 2014, nearly broke the deadlock after being released by a long ball over the top, but he was denied by Yazeed Abulaila. And it was Jordan who took a 36th-minute lead through Al Rashdan's tidy finish with the outside of his right foot, after Algeria's Ramiz Zerrouki had given the ball away cheaply. After the break Abulaila parried a fierce 25-yard shot from Maza and saved a header from Benbouali, while Jordan's Noor Al Rawabdeh curled inches wide from the edge of the box at the other end. But Algeria finally equalised when Benbouali glanced a downward header into the corner - and then Gouiri clinched the win when he hooked home a bouncing ball after another inswinging corner broke to him.

After just two games in the competition, the Manchester City striker has now scored twice as many goals (four) as any other Norway player in World Cup history. Full-back Marcus Pederson, on as an early substitute, capitalised on a poor clearance from Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly to put Norway 1-0 up late in the first half - before Haaland took over in the second. He raced on to Martin Odegaard's incisive through ball to double the lead in the 48th minute - becoming Norway's all-time top scorer at World Cups in the process - before Ismaila Sarr pulled a goal back to give Senegal hope. But Haaland restored his team's two-goal cushion five minutes later with a calmly taken side-foot volley which went in off the bar. Haaland has now scored in 12 consecutive competitive matches for Norway, registering at least two goals in each of the past six. Sarr struck again in injury time to set up a nervy finale and the Crystal Palace winger could have equalised in the final seconds but put his header over the bar. However, Stale Solbakken's Norway had been much the better side, even in a somewhat scrappy first half, and held on for a second straight win that means they have qualified from Group I alongside France. Senegal must beat Iraq in their last group game to have any chance of reaching the knockout stages.

The forward, who turns 39 on Wednesday, got his 17th and 18th goals at tournaments to move two clear of Germany striker Miroslav Klose, whose tally came between 2002 and 2014. Messi's milestone moment came in the 38th minute of the Group J encounter in Dallas, sweeping home a first-time finish from just inside the penalty area after Thiago Almada had cleverly let Facundo Medina's pull-back go through his legs to tee up his team-mate. The talismanic frontman's second came in second-half injury-time as he fired home from a tight angle past two Austrian defenders after Julian Alvarez had been denied by keeper Alexander Schlager. However, Messi could have broken the record earlier in the match. After only eight minutes, Argentina were awarded a penalty following Stefan Posch's foul on Lautaro Martinez, with Austrian defender Xaver Schlager also making a challenge, but Messi fired the spot-kick wide. That disappointment soon turned to celebration, though, in another display of his class on a historic night. He is now the top scorer in the 2026 competition, with five goals in two matches following a hat-trick in the 3-0 win over Algeria in their opening group game. Before Messi's second, Austria - managed by former Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick - had a chance to make it 1-1. But Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez pushed away a powerful free-kick from Marcel Sabitzer, who was making his 100th international appearance. Argentina, with six points, now join Mexico, the United States and Germany in having qualified for the last 32, and they will be confirmed as Group J winners if Jordan do not beat Algeria in the later game (Tuesday, 04:00 BST). Having beaten Jordan in their opener, Austria still remain in contention on three points.

Their 3-1 victory also ensures the Pharaohs look set to qualify from the group stage for the first time in their history. New Zealand took a first-half lead when Finn Surman headed home Tim Payne's well-placed corner in the 15th minute as the All Whites dreamed of securing their first win in this competition. The Kiwis squandered leads twice in their opening game draw with Iran and ended up doing the same here. Egypt scored three goals in the space of 24 second-half minutes to move top of Group G after some tactical tweaks from manager Hossam Hassan. Mostafa Zico - named after the great Brazilian player - headed home Mohamed Hany's cross in the 58th minute. Salah then played a neat one-two with Zico in the area before finding the bottom corner to put Egypt in front. And the former Liverpool forward then delivered a corner for substitute Trezeguet to head home in the 82nd minute. Egypt's first victory in their fourth World Cup - their first appearance was in 1934 - means they will win the group if they beat Iran on Saturday. New Zealand are still searching for their first World Cup win and will need to find it against Belgium if they are to progress.
