Next match

Norway faces France on Friday at 21.00 Norwegian time. If Norway wins, they'll take the group win. If it's a draw, France will win the group on better goal difference.

What does the coach say?

- I have no idea, says Ståle Solbakken. But we're through anyway. Norway has six points, and it's only the goal difference that separates them from France. France has 6–1, Norway 7–3. Ismaila Sarr's 2-3 reduction in overtime can therefore have great significance - likely with a negative sign for Norway.
