Ousmane Dembélé scores hat-trick in 35 minutes as France lead Norway 3-1 at 2026 World Cup
Ousmane Dembélé delivered a sensational masterclass in the FIFA World Cup 2026scoring a hat-trick in just 32-35 minutes against Norway in Group I. The French winger’s explosive performance has France leading Norway 3-1 midway through the first half in Boston.
From Tournament Drought to World Cup Hero
Until recently, Dembélé had zero goals in major tournaments (World Cup or Euros) despite multiple appearances. He finally broke that duck with a goal against Iraq just days ago — his first in 13 World Cup matches. Now, with this hat-trick, he has four World Cup goals in total, cementing his status as one of the tournament’s breakout stars.
- 7th minute: Dembélé opens the scoring (assisted by Kylian Mbappé).
- 20th minute: Dembélé doubles the lead with a stunning left-footed strike from outside the box.
- 32nd minute: Hat-trick complete — another clinical finish, reportedly assisted by Aurélien Tchouaméni.
This is one of the fastest hat-tricks in World Cup history, trailing only a 1954 record.
