Haaland now has four goals in the tournament. He is second in the Golden Boot race, one behind Argentina’s Lionel Messi and tied with France’s Kylian Mbappé.

After a flat first half, Kylian Mbappé got France back in tune. Mbappé scored twice to move past Pelé with 14 World Cup goals, celebrating by mimicking a flutist as he had promised, and Les Bleus beat Senegal 3-1 Tuesday in their World Cup opener.

Monday has a massive four-match slate for the 2026 World Cup and while powerhouses Argentina and France are in action, perhaps the biggest match of the day comes at 8 p.m. between Norway and Senegal.

A knee injury sustained during Monday's loss to Norway has ​ruled out Senegal keeper Edouard ‌Mendy from Friday's World Cup match against Iraq, his national team said ​on Wednesday.

As Senegal are learning to their dismay at the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Africa's champions have often struggled to recreate their continental dominance on the grandest stage.
