A penalty from Eugenie Le Sommer was enough to see FIFA Women's World Cup hosts France beat Norway 2-1 on Wednesday at the Allianz Riviera in Nice.
The home side were frustrated for long spells in the first half, as Norway proved to be resolute opposition.
That changed immediately in the second period, as within a minute of the restart Amel Majri fizzed a brilliant cross into the area for Valerie Gauvin to turn home. Norway were back on terms in the 56th minute, though, when Wendie Renard inexplicably turned the ball into her own net under no pressure.
