Match chronology
First half - Schjelderup shock, Bellingham answers
Cagey start in brutal Miami heat. England had the ball. Norway sat deep.
36’: Kane lost it. Odegaard found Schjelderup. Left-footed strike from wide - over Pickford into the far top (cross or shot - either way, goal). England 0-1 Norway.
45+2’: Lifeline. Anthony Gordon crossed. Bellingham took a touch, created space, finished across goal. 1-1. Norway complained a goal kick had hit a skycam cable in the build-up - no overturn.
45+4’: Bellingham slid Kane through. Lob over Nyland - flag up. Offside. Still 1-1.
Second half - Heggem wiped, Norway dominant
Half-time: Saka and Eze on for Madueke and Rice.
55’: Berg corner. Heggem finished at the back post. VAR - Haaland pushed Elliot Anderson in the chest before the kick. Goal cancelled under IFAB box rules. Huge escape.
76’: Pickford punched. Ajer headed against the bar. England surviving. Tuchel sent on Reece James. Nusa and Bobb entered for Norway.
Late 90: Saka danced into the box - cross cleared. Spence and Rogers injected energy. Full-time 1-1 - extra time.

ET 3’: Rogers from 25 yards. Nyland spilled. Bellingham slammed home. England 2-1. His 6th of the World Cup.
ET 9’: Spence drove into the box, went down under Bobb. Spot kick given - then overturned. Spence judged to have initiated contact. Tuchel furious.
ET 16’: Haaland off with a knock - Strand Larsen on. Dream run ending.
ET 20’: Nyland made amends - triple save on Saka and Spence. Burn replaced Bellingham. Back five. Shut up shop - Mexico script again.
ET 24’-26’: Bobb blazed over. Pickford punched a free kick and collided with his own man - play stopped. Ajer booked for protests.
