England 2-1 Norway, after extra time at the Miami Stadium. This was the match that kept giving — a disallowed goal for Kane, a disallowed goal for Norway, a spilled save that produced the winner, a penalty overturned by VAR, and at the centre of all of it, Jude Bellingham scoring twice to drag England into the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals. Thomas Tuchel’s side go through the hard way. That’s the only way they seem to know.

36th Minute — Schjelderup Strikes Again
Just as he did against Brazil, Andreas Schjelderup decided a match at the moment it needed deciding. On 36 minutes, he picked up the ball and beat Jordan Pickford with a looping, dipping effort from a tight angle — a finish of real quality, deceptive in its flight, and utterly beyond Pickford’s reach. Norway 1-0.
First Half — Kane’s Chip, Bellingham’s Equaliser
In the first minute of added time at the end of the first half, Anthony Gordon found space on the flank and delivered precisely to Bellingham arriving in the box. Bellingham controlled, adjusted, and fired home. 1-1. The equaliser was clinical and calm. Everything you expect from him.
England kept coming. Harry Kane’s chip, played in following a Bellingham pass, beat the Norwegian goalkeeper cleanly in what looked a stunning one-on-one finish. VAR intervened. The offside line was agonizingly tight — the goal ruled out. The disallowance stung.
55th Minute — Norway’s Disallowed Goal
The second half opened with Norway striking what they thought was a go-ahead goal. Torbjorn Heggem’s effort crossed the line, Norway celebrated, and for a moment the match felt like it was slipping away from England. VAR reviewed the build-up. An Erling Haaland foul in the phase before the goal was identified. Disallowed. The score stayed level. Norway had now had a goal ruled out too — this match was refusing to be decided cleanly.
90 Minutes — Nothing Separated Them
England pressed for the winner through the second half, carrying the majority of possession and territory. Haaland remained a constant threat on the counter for Norway — every England attacking transition carried the risk of a Haaland break on the other end. Pickford and his defensive line managed it, just. Neither side could find the decisive goal. Extra time.
93rd Minute — Rogers, Nyland, Bellingham
Three minutes into extra time, Morgan Rogers stepped forward and drove a powerful 20-yard shot at goal. Orjan Nyland got behind it but could not hold it — the ball squirted loose into the box. Bellingham was already moving. He pounced on the spill and buried it. England 2-1. His second of the night. His second decisive extra-time contribution at this tournament. The man simply does not stop arriving at the right moment.
101st Minute — VAR Takes a Penalty Away
England thought they had sealed it further when Spence, after a spectacular run, went down inside Norway’s box and a penalty was awarded. VAR overturned it within minutes — the review showed Spence had put his right foot in front of the Norwegian defender. The decision was correct. The penalty was gone. England still led by one. Norway pressed desperately. The clock ticked. England held.
Full Time
England 2-1 Norway, after extra time. The Three Lions are in the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Their opponent will be the winner of the Argentina vs Switzerland match — the tournament’s last quarter-final.
Two goals for Bellingham. A disallowed Kane chip that in any other moment would have been remembered as one of the great individual finishes of the tournament. A disallowed Norwegian goal. A penalty given and taken away. Two hours of football in Miami heat that stretched every England player and tested every Tuchel decision. They came through it.
For Norway, the exit is cruel. Schjelderup’s 36th-minute goal, Sorloth’s missed in the first half with Haaland free beside him, the disallowed Heggem goal — there were moments where this could and perhaps should have gone differently. Norway had a genuine chance to reach a World Cup semi-final. They will carry that with them. Haaland, without a goal tonight, will carry it too.
