France puts Norway under pressure, scores in the 7th minute

France has taken an early lead against Norway at Gillette Stadium in Boston in their battle to determine the group champion. Les Bleus found the back of the net just seven minutes into the match to go ahead.

Norway coach Ståle Solbakken made 10 sweeping changes to his starting lineup, resting four-goal striker Erling Haaland and captain Martin Ødegaard. In stark contrast, France head coach Didier Deschamps deployed a formidable side, spearheaded by Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, and Désiré Doué.

The statistics clearly reflect France's early dominance, with Les Bleus controlling 79% of the possession and registering 4 shots on target. The Norway goalkeeper has already been forced to make 3 saves, while Norway is yet to register a single shot.
