France and Iraq meet at the World Cup for the very first time.

France have faced Asian opposition 6 times at the World Cup — W5 D1 L0.

Kylian Mbappé has scored his 15th and 16th World Cup goals; only Lionel Messi (18) has more.

This is the sixth time Kylian Mbappé has scored at least twice in a match in the World Cup, more than any other player.

Ousmane Dembélé has scored his first-ever World Cup goal — at his 3rd World Cup (13 matches).

Kylian Mbappé has become the fourth player to score 2+ goals in at least three successive World Cup appearances (Messi is also among the four).

Iraq have conceded in every one of their 5 World Cup matches. They are the first Asian nation to lose their first five matches in the tournament.

France outshot Iraq 19–4.

France have won 36 of their 44 World Cup matches in which they scored first (W36 D3 L5).

Iraq committed just 4 fouls — the 5th-fewest by a team in a World Cup match in the last three World Cups.

Iraq have lost each of their five World Cup matches. Only El Salvador (six) have played more games in the competition without avoiding defeat.
