MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Jude Bellingham scored in the third minute of extra time to lift England past Norway 2-1 and into the World Cup semifinals for the first time since 2018.<\/p>\n
Bellingham\u2019s goal was his second of the game \u2014 he also had an equalizer late in the first half. The Real Madrid star is now tied with England teammate Harry Kane with six goals in this tournament, behind the eight of France\u2019s Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 and Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi. He scored twice in the round of 16 as England beat co-host Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n England, winner of the 1966 World Cup and facing pressure to return to the title match, is now one win away from getting there. The Three Lions will face either Argentina or Switzerland, who were set to play Saturday night in Kansas City, Missouri.<\/p>\n Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 36th minute for Norway, a squad that reached its first quarterfinals and took the internet by storm with its \u201cViking row\u201d<\/a> and the charisma of 6-foot-5 striker Erling Haaland<\/a>.<\/p>\n Haaland \u2014 the Manchester City star who had seven goals in this tournament \u2014 was held without a goal for the first time in the World Cup. He was subbed out on Saturday for Jorgen Strand Larsen in the second half of extra time.<\/p>\n Norway nearly went ahead 2-1 in the 56th minute when Torbj\u00f8rn Heggem put a rebound past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after a corner kick. Following a video review, the goal was disallowed because of a foul by Haaland in the box. Haaland was also denied by Pickford on a point-blank header in the first half.<\/p>\n Schjelderup, making just his second start of the tournament, fired a shot that caromed off the right post<\/a> and into the net to stun an England team that had dominated possession to that point. Bellingham\u2019s equalizer from close range<\/a> elicited a roar from that crowd that included Mick Jagger<\/a> and England great David Beckham.<\/p>\n Schjelderup, who set up both of Haaland\u2019s<\/a> goals in Norway\u2019s round of 16 win<\/a> over Brazil, celebrated by stretching his arms wide and looking at the crowd as his teammates lifted him onto their shoulders. Meanwhile, Kane sat near midfield, grabbing his leg and looking toward the officials. No foul was called.<\/p>\n Moments before Bellingham evened the score, a Norway goal kick resulted in the ball appearing to make contact<\/a> with an aerial camera cable before landing at the feet of England\u2019s Elliot Anderson. The ball was eventually played to Bellingham, who beat \u00d8rjan Nyland with a low shot to the far post. By rule, if the ball had been noticed hitting the cable, play would have stopped and a drop ball would have been utilized to determine possession.<\/p>\n There was a brief moment of silence before the match in honor of Jayden Adams<\/a>, the 25-year-old midfielder for South Africa whose death was announced earlier Saturday. <\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
