Sharjah 24: England qualified for the 2026 World Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in Miami in the quarter-finals.

Jude Bellingham scored two goals, leading England, the 1966 champions, to a 2-1 extra-time win over Norway in Miami in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals. The Three Lions have now reached the semi-finals for the fourth time in their history.

6 goals

Norway took the lead through Andreas Schjelderup (36), and England responded through Bellingham (45+2 and 93), raising his tally to six goals in the current edition, in his second consecutive brace after the first against Mexico (3-2) in the round of 16. At the age of 23 years and 12 days, he became the second youngest player to score two or more goals in two consecutive matches in the knockout stages of the finals after the Brazilian legend Pelé in 1958 (17 years and 249 days).
