Norway made ten changes to its starting lineup and lost 4-1 to France in a World Cup group-stage match. The match took place at Boston Stadium. France scored three times in the first half and added one more goal after halftime.
Norway rested several players after already securing qualification for the knockout stage. The team had played Senegal three days earlier. France fielded an attacking lineup ahead of its final group match.
France scored inside the opening minute when a shot struck the crossbar. One player then scored three goals in a 25-minute span. Norway missed a penalty shortly after halftime.
Norway will travel roughly 1,100 miles from its base in North Carolina to face Ivory Coast in Texas on 30 June. A group win would have required travel of about half that distance.
