England defeat Norway 2-1 to reach World Cup semi-finals
Bellingham’s brace sent England into the semifinals after Norway led 1-0 and had a second goal disallowed by VAR, officials said.
- On Saturday, July 11, 2026, England defeated Norway 2-1 at Miami Stadium to reach the World Cup semi-finals, with midfielder Jude Bellingham scoring twice, including the extra-time winner.
- Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 36th minute to give Norway an early lead, while extreme conditions of 33 Celsius heat and 80 per cent humidity tested both teams' stamina throughout the match.
- FIFA officials cited 'connected ball' sensor data showing no contact with the overhead cable during Bellingham's equalizer, validating the goal despite Norwegian protests about the incident.
- Following a VAR review, officials overturned Norway's potential 55th-minute go-ahead goal, determining Erling Haaland committed a foul against Elliot Anderson before the set piece that led to the attempt.
- England will face Argentina or Switzerland in Wednesday's semi-final in Atlanta, continuing their pursuit of a first World Cup title since 1966.
