Haaland Skipped The Clash! Dembélé Hit A Quick Hat-Trick, France Beat Norway 4-1 To Seal Group I Top Spot

The highly anticipated head-to-head between Mbappé and Haaland failed to take place, as Norway’s star striker Erling Haaland sat on the bench and did not feature throughout the full fixture. Without their top goalscorer, Norway’s defense crumbled against France’s fierce attacking line. Ousmane Dembélé produced an iconic performance, completing his hat-trick within just 32 minutes. France claimed a dominant 4-1 victory over Norway, finishing first in Group I and advancing to the World Cup knockout stage, while Norway secured second place to qualify for the round of 32 as well.
