Quarter-final

Norway 1-2 England

Jude Bellingham was the hero of that win for England by scoring twice as they beat Norway 2-1 after extra time to reach the semi-finals.

He tied the game right before half-time, then won it early in extra time after a mistake from the Norway goalkeeper.

It is a heartbreaking end to Norway's fairytale run, but the English team deserves this one.

England are now in the semi-finals, where they face Argentina.

How the match went

Norway came so close to the biggest win in their history, but England's star midfielder Jude Bellingham stopped them.

Norway had a brilliant start as their winger Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 36th minute to make it 1-0.

This is the team that already knocked out 5-time champions Brazil, so for a while another shock really looked possible.

But England struck back right before half-time, when Jude Bellingham scored in the 45+2 minute to tie it 1-1.

The game was still 1-1 after the second half, so it went to extra time, the 30 extra minutes teams play when the score is tied after 90 minutes.

But then just 3 minutes into extra time, one mistake from Norway changed everything.

Their goalkeeper Orjan Nyland could not hold onto the ball, and Bellingham was there to score and make it 2-1.

That was his 2nd goal of a huge night for England.

Thanks to his 2 goals, England are now into the semi-finals, and it is the end of Norway's best ever run in the biggest competition in football.
