Things got a little bit wild in the closing seconds of the first, Cane snuck in a potential goal to close out the half, but it was waived off because he was offside . What a way to close out the half.


Just like the end of the first half, Norway had another goal that was reviewed. Haaland was a bit too physical and pushed Kane to the ground, before Norway scored the goal off a rebound. The goal was taken away and the game resumed! Norway was the aggressor after the missed opportunity. For the majority of the half, they put a lot of pressure on England's goalkeeper and tested their defense.


England had a chance to score a goal, but two of their players missed time the kick after their players shimmed the skin's off Norway's goalkeeper. After getting past the goalkeeper, Kane could not find the angle to score a potential go-ahead goal. Both teams could not score in regular time, so the game had to be settled in extra time.


Jude Bellingham scored within the first three minutes of the extra period to shock Norway and go up 2-1. Things got a little bit more controversial as the ref had to go to the review cam to potential overturn England's chance of a penalty kick. It was overturned, but more pressure was on Norway as they looked for some momentum to set up a potential goal.
