7M - Norway 1-4 France: Ousmane Dembele fires stunning first-half hat-trick as Les Bleus maintain perfect World Cup record with comfortable win

France maintained their 100 percent winning record at the 2026 World Cup after securing a comfortable victory over Norway. Forward Ousmane Dembele was in ravishing form, striking a brilliant first-half hat-trick to put his side firmly in control of the contest.

The France winger showcased his incredible quality throughout the opening period, routinely shifting past multiple defenders to net his goals. His clinical clinical finishing included one particularly eye-catching effort that was set up by a precise feed from teammate Kylian Mbappe.

Dembele's sensational 32-minute masterclass gave France a commanding 3-1 advantage before the interval. The dominant display ensured they kept their perfect tournament streak intact against a heavily rotated Norwegian side that played without rested stars Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard. Despite a more balanced second half, the damage done by the Paris Saint-Germain attacker proved more than enough to secure the three points for the hosts.
