Match stats
- Norway and England have met 12 times prior, with this their first meeting since a 1-0 friendly win for the Three Lions in September 2014. Overall, Norway have won just two of those 12 matches (D3 L7), failing to score in any of their last four.
- England have been eliminated from five of their last six FIFA World Cup knockout round matches against European opposition and each of their last three in succession. Their latest defeat saw them lose 2-1 to France at the quarter final stage of the 2022 tournament.
- Norway have failed to win any of their six FIFA World Cup games against fellow European opposition (D2 L4), losing both of their prior knockout round matches against such sides, 2-1 in 1938 and 1-0 in 1998 both against Italy.
- Only Brazil (14) and Germany (14) have qualified for more FIFA World Cup quarter-finals than England, with this set to be their eleventh appearance at this stage in the competition. The Three Lions have progressed from just three of those matches however, conceding 2+ goals in seven of those ties.
- Norway have reached the quarter-finals at a major tournament (FIFA World Cup/UEFA EUROs) for the first time in their history. They have both scored (12) and conceded (9) in all five of their games at the FIFA World Cup 2026 so far, while the only side to ever reach the semi-final of the competition having both scored and conceded 10+ goals was Germany in 1954 (16GF, 11GA).
- Harry Kane has scored six goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup; it’s only the third time an England player has scored six goals in a major tournament (FIFA World Cup/UEFA EUROs - also Gary Lineker at the 1986 World Cup and Kane himself at the 2018 World Cup). Kane has scored eleven goals in his last 12 knockout stage matches at major tournaments, both scoring and missing a penalty against France at this stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
- Erling Haaland has scored in each of his last 14 competitive outings for Norway (27 goals in total during this period), finding the back of the net in all four of his appearances at the FIFA World Cup 2026 so far. The last player to score in each of his first five games at the tournament was Colombia’s James Rodríguez in 2014, while the last European player to do so was Germany’s Gerd Müller in 1970.
- After scoring twice against Mexico, Jude Bellingham became the first midfielder to net 4+ goals in a FIFA World Cup campaign for England (4). His 33.3% shot conversion rate at the 2026 tournament is also the highest of any England midfielder to attempt more than three shots in a World Cup campaign on Opta record (since 1966 – four goals from 12 shots).
- At the FIFA World Cup 2026, Erling Haaland has netted four match-winning goals, with only Poland’s Grzegorz Lato in 1974 and Italy’s Salvatore Schillaci in 1990 managing more in a single campaign in the competition’s history (both five).
- For England at the FIFA World Cup 2026, Elliot Anderson ranks first for interceptions (7), tackles (14), possession won (29), duels won (40) and line breaking passes (42), while only Jude Bellingham has made as many high intensity pressures as him (170 each).
- Jordan Pickford is set to overtake Peter Shilton to become England’s outright all-time leading appearance maker at the FIFA World Cup (currently level with 17 games each). Pickford has however conceded seven of the ten shots on target Erling Haaland has had against him in the Premier League, with the Norwegian only netting more goals in the competition against José Sá (10), Alphonse Areola (9) and Bernd Leno (8).

There are two changes to the team that started in the 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Round of 16. John Stones comes in for Jarell Quansah, with the latter suspended following his red card against Mexico, while Noni Madueke comes in for his fellow Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka.

England: 1 Jordan Pickford, 2 Ezri Konsa, 3 Nico O'Reilly, 4 Declan Rice, 5 John Stones, 6 Marc Guéhi, 8 Elliot Anderson, 9 Harry Kane (c), 10 Jude Bellingham, 18 Anthony Gordon, 20 Noni Madueke
Substitutes: 7 Bukayo Saka, 11 Marcus Rashford, 12 Trevoh Chalobah, 13 Dean Henderson, 14 Jordan Henderson, 15 Dan Burn, 16 Kobbie Mainoo, 17 Morgan Rogers, 18 Anthony Gordon, 19 Ollie Watkins, 21 Eberechi Eze, 22 Ivan Toney, 23 James Trafford, 24 Reece James, 25 Djed Spence
The Three Lions had to come from behind in searing Florida heat after Andreas Schjelderup’s cross-shot gave the Scandinavian side a 36th-minute lead.
Bellingham equalised in first-half added time and followed up with the winner three minutes into extra time, reacting quickest when Morgan Rogers’ shot was spilled by Orjan Nyland.
The nation can now look forward to England’s fourth appearance at the semi-final stage of this competition, with Argentina lying in wait in Atlanta on Wednesday night following their own extra-time win over Switzerland.
Tuchel made two changes to the side which memorably defeated Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in the last 16, John Stones coming in for the suspended Jarell Quansah – with Ezri Konsa shifting to right-back – and Noni Madueke replacing Arsenal clubmate Bukayo Saka on the wing.
Both incoming players were involved early on, Madueke getting into a good position down the right and overhitting his cross before Stones had to be alert to intercept a threatening through ball towards Erling Haaland.
Kane blazed a free-kick over the bar from distance and the first effort on target arrived after 35 minutes when Haaland headed straight at Jordan Pickford.
A minute later, Norway took the lead. Kane had his pocket picked inside the England half and Schjelderup’s cross-shot from the left-hand side flew in off the post.
Buoyed by the opener, Stale Solbakken’s side continued to apply pressure. Alexander Sorloth blazed over when well-placed and Pickford, making a record-breaking 18th FIFA World Cup appearance for the Three Lions, got down to his left to keep out Martin Odegaard’s low effort from outside the area.
Sorloth was involved again soon afterwards as he and Haaland worked a two-on-one, but the winger delayed his pass square to Haaland and his subsequent shot was blocked.
There was still time for Kane to put the ball in the net prior to the interval but the England skipper’s neat dink over Nyland was ruled out by the offside flag.
Saka and Eberechi Eze were introduced at half time, with Madueke and Rice making way.
Pickford was soon called into action in the second period, tipping over Sorloth’s effort and parrying a Haaland header around the post.
Norway thought they had restored their advantage when former West Brom defender Torbjorn Heggem converted the rebound when Sorloth’s shot was kept out by Pickford. But replays revealed a push from Haaland on Anderson before the corner was taken, with the goal disallowed and the set-piece retaken as a result.
Corners continued to prove a dangerous outlet for the Norwegians and they struck the woodwork from another such scenario with 15 minutes to play.
Saka threatened down the right as England sought to regain a foothold, whipping one dangerous cross just wide of the far post before later beating his man and delivering a low ball in which was cleared.
Seven minutes were added on and though no breakthrough could be found, England needed fewer than three minutes of extra time to go in front for the first time.
Nyland was unable to gather Rogers’ strike cleanly and Bellingham smashed home the rebound to send the travelling Three Lions supporters into raptures.
England were then awarded a penalty when Djed Spence went down in the area, only for the decision to be overturned on review to keep the game on a knife-edge.
Marc Guehi’s brave block kept out Nusa’s shot and Patrick Berg fired over either side of half time in extra time, while Nyland was required to keep out Spence and Saka in quick succession.
Dan Burn was introduced for Bellingham late on and his aerial presence proved crucial as England successfully protected their advantage to seal a place in the last four.
For those who have made the trip across the Atlantic and the millions watching late into the night back home, the dream remains alive.
