France beats Norway 4-1 in the final Group I match of the 2026 World Cup to finish top of the group. Ousmane Dembele scores a hat-trick in a first half, and the rapid three goals put France ahead early. Sources describe Norway as a rotated “second-string” side, while France also makes changes after qualification, but still records the convincing win. The match outcome secures France’s position as group winners, with Norway advancing as runners-up. Mbappé is mentioned as contributing with assists in at least one report, while others focus on Dembele’s goal scoring and France’s overall control.
In the other Group I-related reporting, Senegal’s separate 5-0 victory over Iraq is highlighted as key to keeping Senegal’s outside chances for the knockout round alive. That win moves Senegal to three points and a specific goal-difference situation mentioned in one report, keeping them in contention for one of the best third-placed teams to reach the last 32.
