England have secured their spot in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a captivating 2-1 victory over Norway. The quarter-final match, which required extra time, was marked by intense competition and notable performances.
Norway initially took the lead in the 36th minute, courtesy of a well-executed goal from Andreas Schjelderup. However, this lead was short-lived as England’s Jude Bellingham managed to find the equalizer just before the halftime whistle. The second half saw both teams create opportunities, with a Norwegian goal being ruled out due to a foul in the build-up.
The deciding moment arrived three minutes into extra time when Morgan Rogers’ powerful effort was deflected by Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland. This allowed Bellingham to swiftly act, scoring his second goal of the night and putting England in the lead. Despite late pressure from Norway, England held their ground to secure their place in the last four.
This victory continues England’s impressive World Cup campaign under the guidance of manager Thomas Tuchel. The Three Lions are now just one win away from reaching the World Cup final and will face the winner of the quarter-final match between Argentina and Switzerland in the semi-finals.
