Overview
- England beat Norway 2-1 after extra time on Saturday with Jude Bellingham scoring the equaliser just before half-time and the extra-time winner.
- FIFA reported that the ball’s internal sensor showed no peak when it appeared to clip an overhead camera cable before the equaliser, so the goal stood.
- Norway had a second-half goal disallowed after VAR ruled Erling Haaland shoved Elliot Anderson during the corner build-up.
- Haaland’s run of tournament goals ended as Norway’s surprise quarter-final run finished, while England will face the Argentina or Switzerland winner in Atlanta on Wednesday.
- The match highlighted strain from the Miami heat, frequent hydration breaks, and renewed scrutiny of VAR and broadcast-technology checks after FIFA’s sensor explanation for the contested sequence.
