Dembélé Hat Trick Sends France Past Rotated Norway, 4-1, to Top Group I

ESPN · 2d ago

France cruised past a heavily rotated Norway side 4-1 to seal first place in Group I, with Ousmane Dembélé scoring three times before halftime. Norway boss Ståle Solbakken made ten changes — including benching Erling Haaland for the full 90 — since his side had already secured a knockout berth. The result sends Norway into a Round of 32 meeting with Côte d'Ivoire, while France move on to face a third-place finisher from another group.
