Norway 1 France 4: Dembele scores second earliest hat-trick in World Cup history as Les Bleus blitz Norwegian reserves

In a surprising turn of events, France dominated Norway with a 4-1 victory in the World Cup, largely thanks to Ousmane Dembele's impressive hat-trick. This performance ranks him as the second-fastest to achieve such a feat in World Cup history. Notably, Norway opted to rest their star striker Erling Haaland, which shifted the spotlight onto Dembele instead of the anticipated clash between Haaland and a French player. This match highlights the unpredictable nature of the tournament and how even teams with less star power can still be formidable.
