France secured a dominant 4-1 victory against Norway on June 26 in Foxboro, advancing to the knockout stage of the World Cup. Ousmane Dembele netted a hat trick in the first half, while Desire Doue added a goal in stoppage time. Norway's Thelo Aasgaard responded quickly after Dembele's second goal, but France's relentless offense proved too much.
