Group I became one of the first groups producing two qualified teams after both France and Norway secured their places in the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
France booked their spot with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Iraq, led by another brilliant performance from Kylian Mbappe, who scored twice to move onto 16 World Cup goals, drawing level with Miroslav Klose and sitting just two behind Lionel Messi.
