Wendie Renard wins a headed battle with Isabell Herlovsen and it goes out for a throw-in which will give Norway a chance to make another swift substitution.

Norway have increased their tempo. There's more urgency in their game and France are trying to disrupt it by making a few changes.

Goalscorer Valerie Gauvin is the next player to go off as Delphine Cascarino comes on.

Robert Turpie: Never a penalty in a million years. Completely spoiled what is an entertaining game.

Lee Palser: Not a penalty! Nobody noticed the two footed attempted challenge by the french player just before??

Stuart Gilby: How the hell is that a penalty? #FRA player jumps in 2 footed - no control . #NOR play swings CONNECTS with the ball and then hits the France player? Free kick Norway in my book - yellow card to France player. VAR is pathetic.

First change for France. Gaetane Thiney, who has been solid throughout, is replaced by Charlotte Bilbault.

Caroline Graham Hansen's touch on the edge of the area is neat. She flicks it up to control it and slips it left to Isabell Herlovsen.

The striker's touch isn't as good though and Marion Torrent comes across to deal with it.

Stuart Vernon: I’m pretty sure that the Norwegian defender would have gone in properly for the ball if the French player hadn’t have gone in 2 footed..? Surely not a penalty, and at least a yellow for France?

Samm Downing: Absolute joke of a penalty decision. You could argue the French player jumped into the challenge with two feet.

Gaetane Thiney comes clattering into Ingrid Engen and Norway have a free-kick in the centre.

The stadium announcer then reveals there are 34,872 in attendance in Nice.

Comrade Bernski: VAR should be put on the first spaceship to Mars, what a disgraceful decision

Jasdip Sagu: How is that a penalty! She got the ball first!!! VAR being used incorrectly!

Tom McQuillin: I'm starting to think that lack of technology was never the issue with football... it was woeful refereeing. I can't believe that's been given as a penalty! Slow-motion makes everything look worse.

Change for Norway. Lisa-Marie Utland is on for Karina Saevik.

A corner from Norway puts keeper Sarah Bouhaddi under pressure but she beats Maren Mjelde to the ball, taking it in confidentially.

I can't help but sit hear frustrated. I feel the game has been let-down by VAR and weak officiating. I think it's a harsh decision.

The goalkeeper dived the right way but it was far too good a penalty. The most relieved woman in this place is Wendie Renard.

France’s Eugenie Le Sommer has now equalled Marie-Laure Delie as Les Bleues’ top scorer at World Cups on five goals.

Four of Le Sommer’s goals have come in the first half of games. That penalty was the latest she has scored.

Engen's foot goes over the ball, it comes up and there is some clumsiness. But it's a ridiculous decision, I have to say.

Superstar Eugenie Le Sommer is taking the spot-kick. Surely it's 2-1?

Ingrid Engen goes into the book for it.

It's been given!!!

Referee Bibiana Steinhaus has ran over to the screen to have a look herself. Ingrid Engen certainly follows through on Marion Torrent.
