Ousmane Dembele scored a hat-trick as France defeated Norway 4-1 in their World Cup match on Friday night. With this result, France won its third consecutive match and became the winner of Group 'I'.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Dembele scored a hat-trick in the first half of a match that was also seen as a rivalry between two of the world's young strikers, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. French captain Mbappe provided the passes for Dembele's first two goals. Haaland remained on the bench. Norway rested him for the knockout stages. Norway made 10 changes, including Haaland, from the team that played the previous match. Ballon d'Or winner Dembele opened the scoring in the seventh minute at Boston Stadium. He scored his second goal in the 20th minute. But less than a minute later, Norway's Thelo Asgard equalized. Dembele completed his hat-trick in the 32nd minute.
With this, Dembele, along with Brazil's Vinicius Junior, Mbappe and Haaland, have 4 goals each. Argentina's Lionel Messi is at the top with 5 goals.
Norway failed to score a second goal when Strand Larsen missed a penalty in the 50th minute. Desire Dou scored for France in injury time.
In the other match of the same group in Toronto, Senegal defeated Iraq 5-0 to stay in the top eight and reach the knockout stage.
