match commentary

  • ▸ France were cohesive, selfless and tactically intelligent as they ran out deserved winners.
  • ▸ Early change for NOR on 45' — Morten Thorsby came on (for Kristian Thorstvedt); possibly an enforced knock.
  • ▸ Early change for NOR on 45' — Marcus Pedersen came on (for Fredrik Bjørkan); possibly an enforced knock.
