32 minutes! The second fastest hat-trick in World Cup history was born, and the 29-year-old Ballon d'Or winner set 7 major records in a row.

In the last Group I match of the World Cup, concluding on June 27 Beijing time, France beat Norway 4-1, securing first place with a perfect record. The 29-year-old Ballon d'Or winner Dembélé stole the spotlight by netting a hat-trick.

Before the match, it was hyped as a showdown between Haaland and Mbappé. However, Norway conceded early by benching Haaland, while Mbappé played the role of a "supporting actor," making this Dembélé's most dazzling World Cup performance ever.

Only seven minutes into the game, Dembélé received an assist from Mbappé and fired a powerful shot to give France an early lead. In the 20th minute, another brilliant pass from Mbappé allowed Dembélé to curl the ball into the far corner for his second goal.

In the 32nd minute, Dembélé struck again with a powerful shot, completing his hat-trick and sealing the victory for France. All three goals followed a similar pattern. Over the past two matches, Dembélé has scored four goals, moving him up to second place in the tournament's scoring chart.

In the 65th minute, Dembélé was substituted early to rest. Although he missed out on a "perfect hat-trick" or more goals, this hat-trick still allowed him to set several records.

First, he became the second fastest player to score a hat-trick in a single World Cup match, trailing only Erich Probst of Austria (24 minutes) against Czechoslovakia in 1954.

Second, Dembélé became the fourth reigning Ballon d'Or winner to score a World Cup hat-trick, with the last being Cristiano Ronaldo against Spain in 2018.

Third, Dembélé also became the third French player to achieve a hat-trick, joining Fontaine and Mbappé.

Fourth, he is the first French player to score a hat-trick in the first half of a World Cup match.

Fifth, this is also Dembélé's first hat-trick for the national team.

Sixth, France had two players scoring four goals each in the first three group matches, making them the first World Cup team to achieve this since Poland in 1974.

Seventh, this is the third hat-trick of the current World Cup, the most in a single edition since 1986.

After Dembélé finally broke through on the big stage, France, with a dual-core attack, has become the biggest favorite to win this World Cup.
