England and Norway finished the first half tied 1-1 in their World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday, with the match heading into extra time to determine which team advances to the semifinals. Andreas Schjelderup gave Norway a surprise lead in the 36th minute when his shot deflected off the right post and past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. England equalized in stoppage time through Jude Bellingham, who scored from close range after receiving a pass from Anthony Gordon.
Bellingham's goal was his fifth of the tournament, placing him among England's most prolific World Cup scorers in history. Only Gary Lineker (10 goals) and Harry Kane (14 goals) have scored more World Cup goals for England. The equalizer came at a critical moment, as Norway had built momentum late in the half and appeared to be controlling the match. England had dominated possession in the opening quarter but grew vulnerable defensively.
For Norway, Schjelderup's opener came in just his second start of the tournament. He had previously set up both of Erling Haaland's goals in Norway's win over Brazil. Haaland, who leads the tournament with seven goals, had a relatively quiet first half but remained a threat going forward. England's Harry Kane appeared to react to a challenge during Schjelderup's celebration but no foul was called.
The winner of the match will face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semifinals, with that matchup set to take place later Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri. The match is being played at Miami Gardens, Florida. A moment of silence was observed before kickoff in honor of Jayden Adams, a 25-year-old South African midfielder whose death was announced earlier that day.
Why This Matters
This draw keeps England's World Cup campaign alive and sets up a high-stakes extra period with direct advancement to the semifinals on the line. Bellingham's late equalizer—his fifth tournament goal—has already established him as a generational talent, while Haaland's threat for Norway remains undiminished. The winner advances to face Argentina or Switzerland, making every minute of extra time decisive.
