As expected by many fans, France played with strong intensity in the first half to get a lead on the scoreboard. They opened their account very early in the match through Ousmane Dembele’s brilliant strike. Norway then tried to counterattack, but were left helpless by another Dembele strike in the 20th minute.

Thelo Aasgaard then struck the first goal for Norway in the 21st minute, but Dembele again came back with a fine finish to make the scoreboard 3-1. This was Dembele’s first hat-trick in the FIFA World Cup 2026 that gave France a firm control on the match.
