Norway and England’s World Cup quarterfinal in Miami headed into extra time after a tight and tense 90 minutes in Miami.
Then Jude Bellingham did it again.
England dominated the opening half hour without really threatening and Andreas Schjelderup gave the Scandinavian nation the lead when his cross-shot flew past Jordan Pickford.
Jude Bellingham dispatched a brilliant equaliser on the stroke of halftime but it was Norway who offered the greater threat after the break.
Torbjorn Heggem had a goal ruled out after Erling Haaland shoved Elliot Anderson to the floor before Kristoffer Ajer hit the crossbar.
The decisive moment came early in extra time when Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland spilt a shot from substitute Morgan Rogers and Bellingham was on the spot to score his sixth goal of the competition.

All ratings are on a 10-point scale.
Starters
Goalkeeper: Orjan Nyland: 4
For all of England’s possession, Nyland had barely anything to do whatsoever before the break. No chance with the opening goal but left Bellingham’s second on a plate with a truly awful error. Good saves from Saka after that, but this will be a tough one to swallow for the Sevilla goalkeeper.
Right-back: Julian Ryerson: 5
Got too tight to Gordon and too easily beaten. Better when not charged with defensive duties and his set-pieces were a threat early in the second half before he pulled up with injury.
Right Center-back: Kristoffer Ajer: 6
Rash foul on Bellingham gave England a dangerous free-kick early on. Also, not at his best in possession before halftime. Almost a moment of glory when he headed against the crossbar.
Left center-back: Torbjorn Heggem: 5
Manned the fort well but was taken for a ride by Bellingham for the equaliser. Thought he’d give Norway the lead early in the second half, only for it to be ruled out due to Haaland’s foul on Anderson. Rightly adjudged not to have fouled Bellingham as the last man deep into second-half stoppage time, but it was a dicey moment.
Left-back: David Moller Wolfe: 5
Skittish. A more clinical opponent than Madueke would have punished him severely. Skipped past by Saka as England made their most convincing push for a winner.
Right midfielder: Martin Odegaard: 8
Looked in sparkling form when he had chance to shine when Norway were on top. Lovely range of passing out to the flanks. Started to dictate terms during the second half, looking every inch the knockout midfield opponent familiar to England fans’ nightmares.
Defensive midfielder: Sander Berge: 7
Got through plenty of work protecting an uncertain back four. Had room to roam as an attacking force after Declan Rice was withdrawn.
Left midfielder: Patrick Berg 8
The unsung hero of this team. Defensively disciplined as Norway took their medicine. Then snapped in to dispossess Kane to set the opening goal in motion. Key to keeping his team on top after a promising start to the second half and very unfortunate to finish on the winning side.
Right winger: Alexander Sorloth: 6
A menace roving in off the right-hand side in his hybrid winger/second striker role. However, his failure to play in Haaland or get off a shot to make it 2-0 before half-time looks horrific in the final analysis.
Center forward: Erling Haaland: 6
One header easily saved by Pickford but his brooding presence and selfless running frequently had England on their heels. Would surely have scored had Sorloth got his head up late in the first half. At the start of the second half, he got too emotionally involved in the contest, particularly with new Manchester City teammate Anderson, who he wrestled with in open play before shoving him to the ground, meaning Heggem’s goal was disallowed. His substitution at halftime in extra time marked a limp end to a sensational tournament.
Left winger: Andreas Schjelderup: 7
Did he mean it? Who cares? A moment the tricky winger will treasure and he caused his share of problems before making way. One of several Norway players with their star on the rise.
Norway substitutes vs. England
Fredrik Aursnes (on for Ryerson 60′): 7
Far more defensively assured than the man he replaced, but had the advantage of not needing to deal with Gordon.
Antonio Nusa (on for Schjelderup 67′): 6
Some bright moments during normal time and England could never settle against his sparkling feet. Conceded a penalty for a foul on Spence but was spared when the referee reviewed the pitchside monitor.
Oscar Bobb (on for Sorloth 67′): 7
Some nice touches at close quarters to ramp up England’s defensive tension
Jorgen Strand Larsen (on for Haaland 106′): 5
At the centre of a late sensation when he was sent on for a limping but aghast Haaland. Unfortunately, his introduction was his most notable involvement.
Unused: Sander Tangvik (GK), Egil Selvik (GK), Leo Ostigard, Fredrik Andre Bjorkan, Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, Sondre Langas, Henrik Falchener, Morten Thorsby, Fredrik Aursnes, Kristian Thorstveft, Tehelo Aasgaard, Jens Petter Hauge.
Norway coach vs. England
Stale Solbakken: 8
Set up a disciplined defensive unit that was more than the sum of its parts to stifle England early on. All of his star attackers had clarity about their roles when Norway got on top. Solbakken’s men were excellent during the second half, better than England in all departments due to their greater cohesion. Hopefully, the decision to withdraw Haaland during extra time does not cause so much controversy as to obscure a fine tactical body of work during this tournament.

Starters
Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford: 5
Questions over his role in the opening goal, when he appeared to pull his arm away from Schjelderup’s goalbound hit. Again unconvincing under set-piece pressure and when letting a Haaland header squirm behind in the second half, in stark contrast to his fabulous performance in Mexico City.
Right-back: Ezri Konsa: 6
Adapted well to England’s problem position initially, but his unfamiliarity with full-back duties was perhaps exposed by Schjelderup scooting past him for his fortuitous strike. Excellent clearance after Ajer hit the bar.
Right center-back: John Stones: 6
Typically smooth with his passing and one excellent interception when Sorloth looked to play in Haaland. But a slack giveaway near his own area gave Norway needless encouragement and a shot of momentum that culminated in their goal. Regained his poise as the contest wore on.
Left center-back: Marc Guehi: 6
Discomforted in one aerial duel with Sorloth early on but otherwise untroubled. Was similarly dumped to the turf by a marauding Haaland as Norway got on top after the opener. Marshalled his Manchester City teammate in more assured fashion after the break.
Left-back: Nico O’Reilly: 7
Took up a very advanced position in the attacking line between Gordon and Kane in possession, giving Norway plenty to think about. Prodded one half-chance wide. Less convincing when Norway asked questions of him defensively after half-time, but made a couple of fine challenges to thwart the lively Bobb.
Central midfielder: Declan Rice: 5
Covered the space in front of the back four well when Haaland came deep. England needed more in possession and his usually excellent set-piece deliveries were wayward. Fitness seems to be an issue and he was withdrawn at the break. England missed him badly thereafter.
Central midfielder: Elliot Anderson: 7
England’s metronome directed play nicely as the Three Lions hogged the ball for the first half hour. His control and pass to set the equaliser in motion were delightful. Stood up to Haaland’s physical threat and was rightly adjudged to have been fouled when Heggem’s goal was chalked off. Will be disappointed with how Norway won the second-half midfield battle.
Right winger: Noni Madueke: 4
Annoyingly wasteful as he overhit an early cross and was caught needlessly offside before misjudging a dangerous O’Reilly delivery from the left. Did supply the drilled cross for O’Reilly’s chance.
Attacking midfielder: Jude Bellingham: 9
Won a free-kick in a dangerous position that Kane wasted. Otherwise well shackled until brilliantly netting his fifth of the tournament. His sixth came gift-wrapped by Nyland but the Real Madrid man showed razor-sharp anticipation. A flawed team can win World Cups if they have a superstar like Bellingham.
Left winger: Anthony Gordon: 7
Clearly has the beating of Ryerson, and it was no surprise that one of the few England players who actually seemed to be enjoying the task at hand laid on the equaliser. A surprise withdrawal for James but Tuchel had to act to try and regain control of the midfield.
Striker: Harry Kane: 5
Limited involvement among Norway’s massed defensive ranks. Down softly as Berg too possession to instigate the opening goal. Goal disallowed for a marginal offside on the stroke of halftime. Led the line tirelessly.
England substitutes vs. Norway
Bukayo Saka (on for Madueke, 46′): 7
Excellent piece of trickery almost crafted an England winner late in normal time. Went close to a game-sealing third. It feels imperative that he is fit for the semifinal.
Eberechi Eze (on for Rice, 46′): 5
Struggled to make an impact and the midfield felt lightweight without Rice. His knack of keeping possession and shifting the tempo made him valuaable as England closed out the result.
Reece James (on for Gordon 71′): 6
Sent on as Tuchel sought to wrest back midfield control, with Eze sent out to the wing. Norway remained on top and England missed Gordon. Reverted to right-back when an exhausted was withdrawn.
Djed Spence (on for O’Reilly 86′): 8
A freewheeling bundle of energy. Disconcerted Norway with his pace, won a penalty that was questionably overturned on review.
Morgan Rogers (on for Konsa ’89): 6
The Aston Villa man’s speculative drive led to Bellingham’s winner. Industrious as England got over the line.
Dan Burn (on for Bellingham ‘111): 6
Came on to reprise his Azteca Alamo act. Headed everything that came his way. A cult hero.
Unused: Dean Henderson (GK), James Trafford (GK), Trevoh Chalobah, Dan Burn, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Ollie Watkins, Ivan Toney
England coach vs. Norway
Thomas Tuchel: 7
A poor 10 minutes either side of the opening goal laid bare defensive frailties for which his squad selection remains culpable. A decent first-half gave way to a ragged second, but Tuchel remained pro-active with his substitutions and his team found a way.
