Both teams entered the final match of Group I with a relatively relaxed mindset thanks to having already secured qualification. While Norway benched star player Erling Haaland , France fielded a very strong team to compete for the top spot. The seriousness of the French team quickly helped them take control of the game from the opening whistle.

In the 7th minute, Kylian Mbappe provided a perfect assist for Ousmane Dembele, who raced down the wing and fired the ball into the net to open the scoring. The one-sided game continued thanks to the mobility of the French attacking players.

The nightmare for the Norwegian defense continued when Dembele doubled the lead in the 20th minute with a dangerous curling shot.

However, the Nordic team unexpectedly pulled one back to make it 1-2 thanks to Thelo Aasgaard's goal just a minute later. This goal boosted the confidence of Norway's reserve players, who pushed forward in an attempt to find an equalizer.

The opposition's glimmer of hope was quickly extinguished by Dembele , who completed his hat-trick in the 32nd minute . The PSG winger easily bypassed the defenders before firing a low shot into the corner, beating goalkeeper Egil Selvik.
