Scores, assists in victory
Dembele scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and three chances created in Monday's 3-0 victory over Iraq.
Analysis: Dembele took advantage of an easy matchup to open his 2026 World Cup scoring count, firing a right-footed strike immediately after controlling a ball inside the box in the 66th minute against Iraq. He found another opportunity following a big defensive mistake in front of the opposing goal, but he used it to set up Kylian Mbappe, earning an assist in the 54th minute. The Paris Saint-Germain man will look to extend his positive momentum if he avoids rotation in the final group fixture versus Norway.
Quiet outing in opener
Dembele generated one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-1 victory versus Senegal.
Analysis: Dembele endured a frustrating afternoon in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Senegal, never quite finding his rhythm as his touch and decision-making let him down in a sluggish first half before he was replaced by Bradley Barcola in the 80th minute. He was unable to produce the type of game-changing moments that have fueled his recent club success, with Senegal's disciplined defensive shape giving him very little room to operate. France will need a bigger impact from the Ballon d'Or winner moving forward, as one shot and 26 passes from a player of his creative caliber won't get the job done against stronger competition.
