France dismantled Norway 4-1 in Group I to secure top spot at the World Cup, with Ousmane Dembélé delivering a two-goal masterclass that underlined his resurgent form. Dembélé opened the scoring in the 12th minute, capitalizing on a defensive miscue to slot past Rune Jarstein after a quick counter. Norway nearly equalized before halftime when Alexander Sørloth forced Mike Maignan into a sharp save, but the damage was already done.
