World Cup: Haaland foul disallows Norway goal, match goes to extra time

England and Norway battled fiercely in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals, with a disallowed Norwegian goal proving a pivotal moment in a match that ultimately went into extra time.

England found themselves trailing early in the first half after a Norwegian goal in the 36th minute. Andreas Schjelderup scored for Norway, hitting the post before the ball crossed the line. However, Norway's lead was short-lived. Just before halftime, Jude Bellingham scored a crucial equalizer for England, marking his fifth goal of the tournament.

The second half saw Norway retake the lead in the 55th minute through a corner kick converted by Torbjorn Heggem. The celebration was brief, as VAR intervened. The goal was disallowed due to an earlier foul by Erling Haaland, who pushed Manchester City teammate Elliot Anderson. This decision sent the match into a tense 1-1 draw heading into extra time.

Both teams made substitutions as the game progressed, with England introducing Reece James and Morgan Rogers. Despite late pressure from England, neither side could find a winning goal in regulation. The match proceeded to a penalty shootout, where England ultimately secured their place in the next round.
