A hat trick from the Golden Ball and another goal from Doue have given the Gauls a victory over the Vikings, while the Africans are optimistic about the result they have achieved for their future, although they have to look to the other groups.

France has secured first place in Group I after beating Norway 4-1. Senegal, on the other hand, has shaken Iraq 5-0 and the African team still has the dream of qualifying for the next round. For the time being, the three points added and the difference in goals in favour would put them in the next round, pending the completion of the third day of the group stage.

Thus, the main protagonist of the Viking/Gaul match was Ousmane Dembele. The current Golden Ball made a hat trick for Norway in the first 32 minutes and almost sentenced the match.

In the second half, Solbakken's team even had a penalty to reopen the game, but Maignan was right to avoid Strand-Larsen's shot.

Senegal wants to exhaust all its options.

Senegal, for its part, will retain all its options to qualify for the next round after shaking the A00a0iraq 5-0. The scorers have beenthe German D, Sarr, Pape Gueye with two goals and Ndiaye. With this result, the Senegalese team has finished in third place with three points and has a goal advantage.

What is clear is that this result leaves Scotland out, it depended on other results. Senegal still has to wait to see how the other teams end up, to know what their fate is.
