France dominated the match from the outset, controlling possession (55%) and overwhelming Iraq with 19 total shots compared to Iraq's 4. The first half saw France capitalize on early pressure, with Kylian Mbappé scoring in the 14th minute after a swift counter-attack, capitalizing on Iraq's defensive disorganization. Iraq's inability to create meaningful chances was evident, as France's midfield exerted constant pressure, leading to a 1-0 halftime lead. The second half saw France maintain their dominance, with Mbappé adding a second goal in the 54th minute after a well-worked team move, and Ousmane Dembélé sealing the win in the 66th minute with a clinical finish. Iraq's only notable action was a yellow card to Amir Al-Ammari in the 6th minute, which may have disrupted their tactical discipline. France's superior passing accuracy (though both teams listed 0 in the data, likely a reporting error) and ability to convert chances highlighted their efficiency, while Iraq's lack of cohesion and minimal shot creation underscored their struggles.
