Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, not to be outdone, scored twice in Philadelphia on his 100th cap to level Miroslav Klose\u2019s previous record of 16. A thunderstorm, a come-from-behind thriller in New Jersey, and a debut nation\u2019s tournament ending in San Francisco completed the picture. Here is everything that happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Argentina_2-0_Austria_%E2%80%94_Dallas_10_30_PM_IST_Jun_22\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/argentina\/argentina-squad\">Argentina<\/a> 2-0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/austria\/austria-squad\">Austria<\/a> \u2014 Dallas, 10:30 PM IST (Jun 22)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He missed the penalty in the ninth minute. By the 38th, he had broken the all-time World Cup scoring record. By the 95th, he had extended it. Lionel Messi\u2019s evening at the Dallas Stadium was the kind that will be spoken about for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Lautaro Mart\u00ednez was fouled in the box, Messi stepped up and dragged his spot-kick wide. Austria, organised and defiant under Ralf Rangnick, held the line. David Alaba made multiple crucial blocks. Marcel Sabitzer threatened from a dangerous free-kick on his 100th international appearance. Then, in the 38th minute, Facundo Medina\u2019s low cross reached the box, Thiago Almada\u2019s dummy let it roll, and Messi slotted a textbook left-footed finish into the bottom-right corner. His 17th World Cup goal. Miroslav Klose\u2019s record, held since 2014, was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez and Nicol\u00e1s Gonz\u00e1lez came on around the hour mark to freshen Argentina\u2019s attack. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, \u00c1lvarez drove into the box, had his shot blocked, and Messi reacted first in the scramble to force the ball home. Goal number 18. The most World Cup goals ever scored by any man. Argentina are through to the Round of 32 with six points from two matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/match-clips\/0-6-4z5974253\/arg-vs-aut-highlights-fifa-world-cup-2026\/0-1-6z5989619\">Argentina vs Austria Match Highlight<\/a>\u00a0Free, Only On ZEE5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"France_3-0_Iraq_%E2%80%94_Philadelphia_2_30_AM_IST\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/france\/france-squad\">France<\/a> 3-0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/iraq\/iraq-squad\">Iraq<\/a> \u2014 Philadelphia, 2:30 AM IST<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A violent thunderstorm over Pennsylvania forced a 130-minute suspension at half-time, turning a football match into a four-hour test of patience. France were unfazed. Mbapp\u00e9 had already put them ahead in the 14th minute with a thunderous curling left-footer from the edge of the box. When play resumed on a waterlogged pitch, a catastrophic Iraqi defensive miscommunication gifted Dembel\u00e9 possession, and he squared it to Mbapp\u00e9, who poked it home from close range. 2-0. His 16th World Cup goal, equalling Klose\u2019s previous record in second place on the all-time chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dembel\u00e9 then scored one of his own in the 66th minute. Olise provided the ball after cutting past two defenders, and Dembel\u00e9 finished into the far corner for his first-ever goal at a major international tournament. Mbapp\u00e9 went close to a hat-trick late on before being substituted off to a standing ovation. France are through. The Mbapp\u00e9-Messi record race is the subplot of this tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/match-clips\/0-6-4z5974253\/fra-vs-irq-highlights-fifa-world-cup-2026\/0-1-6z5989624\">France vs Iraq Match Highlight<\/a>\u00a0Free, Only On ZEE5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Catch all the action from the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/myaccount\/subscription?plan-ref=0-11-7467&amp;asset-ref=0-6-4z5914493&amp;visibility=SELECTED&amp;context=FIFA\">ZEE5 FIFA Subscription<\/a> now with the Rs. 799 quarterly plan or the Rs. 1,699 annual plan.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Norway_3-2_Senegal_%E2%80%94_New_Jersey_5_30_AM_IST\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/norway\/norway-squad\">Norway<\/a> 3-2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/senegal\/senegal-squad\">Senegal<\/a> \u2014 New Jersey, 5:30 AM IST<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, brought on in the 12th minute after Julian Ryerson\u2019s injury, capitalised on a Kalidou Koulibaly error to open the scoring in the 43rd minute.

Haaland has goals in back-to-back matches. \u00d8degaard is controlling games. Pedersen came off the bench and scored.
