The 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals continued on Saturday with a match between Norway and England, one that turned out to be a chaotic affair that went to extra time.

It was Jude Bellingham that came through for England, scoring his second goal in extra time to push England ahead 2-1 and secure the victory.

The battle was full of surprises, highlighted by a stunning moment in which the ball appeared to strike a FIFA sky cam just moments before England’s equalizer in the first half.

At the same time, Norway’s Erling Haaland narrowly missed multiple chances to score and Norway’s struggles were intensified when Alexander Sørloth appeared to miss Haaland on a transition opportunity.

With the match tied after regulation, Bellingham secured a brace in the early portion of extra time and England held on the rest of the way.

Naturally, fans online had intense reactions to the thrilling battle.
