📹 It can still come home! England knock out Norway, into semis | OneFootball

This Saturday (11), England needed extra time to come from behind and beat Norway 2-1, securing a place in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This is the fourth time the "English Team" has finished among the top four in the world. Previously, in 1966 (champions), 1990 (3rd place), and 2018 (4th place).

Highlights coming up shortly

The quarterfinal match in Miami (USA) began with the English dominating possession.

However, the "Vikings" opened the scoring with an absolute screamer from Schjelderup.

Odegaard, meanwhile, reached his fourth assist in five matches at the 2026 World Cup.

Only Olise, for France, has more assists at the tournament: five!

Late on, however, Bellingham received the ball from Gordon at the edge of the box, drove forward unchallenged, and fired a low shot across goal to make it all square.

BThe Real Madrid star’s goal put England in the select group of countries that have had players score five or more goals in a single World Cup edition.

Among the five national teams with this mark, Brazil is the only one represented twice.

In 1958, Pelé and Vavá scored six and five goals, respectively, and in 2002, Ronaldo Nazário and Rivaldo found the net eight and five times, respectively.  

Harry Kane even completed the comeback for England in stoppage time, but the play was ruled out for offside against the Bayern Munich striker.

After the break, Norway had a goal disallowed for a foul by Haaland before the corner kick was taken.

The better side on the field, the Nordic team also hit the crossbar.

In extra time, however, England found the winner through him — Jude Bellingham — taking advantage of a terrible mistake by goalkeeper Nyland.

With that, Bellingham (23 years and 12 days) became the second-youngest player to score two or more goals in consecutive World Cup knockout matches. Behind only King Pelé (17 years and 249 days).

The Real Madrid star is also the only English player with two or more goals in consecutive World Cup knockout matches and the first to achieve the feat since Maradona at the 1986 World Cup.

In the second half of extra time, the coach took Haaland off, making Norway’s situation much more difficult in the battle for a historic first World Cup semifinal.

🚦 Situation

With the win, England will face Argentina or Switzerland in the semifinal next Wednesday (15), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time).

On the other side of the bracket, Spain and France will face off on Tuesday (14), at the same time.
