France established control early in their 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage match against Norway on June 26. Ousmane Dembélé scored just seven minutes in and added a second in the 20th minute.
Norway's Thelo Aasgaard scored in the 21st minute to cut the deficit, but France held the advantage.
The match featured two top scorers in the tournament. France's Kylian Mbappé and Norway's Erling Haaland both entered the game with four goals, competing for the Golden Boot.
The event also has a crypto dimension. Kraken was recently named FIFA's official crypto exchange supporter for North America and Europe. FIFA has also been exploring blockchain technology for digital collectibles.
