Jude Bellingham scored both goals for England in their 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final at Miami Stadium on July 11, 2026 [1, 2, 3, 4]. Norway took an early lead in the 36th minute when Andreas Schjelderup’s strike deflected in off the far post [1, 2, 3, 4]. Just before halftime, Bellingham equalised by gliding into the box and firing past two defenders [1, 5, 2, 3, 4].
The match remained tied through 90 minutes, pushing the game into extra time. Early in extra time, Bellingham pounced on a rebound from a save by Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland and scored the winning goal after a long-range shot by Morgan Rogers was parried [1, 2, 3, 4]. The final score was England 2, Norway 1, with approximately 64,478 fans in attendance [1, 2, 6, 3, 4].
Bellingham’s two goals put him level with Harry Kane at six goals in this tournament [1, 3]. He also matched Gary Lineker’s record for most non-penalty goals by an England player in a major tournament [7, 8]. Norway’s star forward Erling Haaland was kept scoreless for the first time in his last 16 international matches [2, 4].
England coach Thomas Tuchel called the result fantastic but criticized the team’s sloppy performance. He said, "We made life very, very difficult for ourselves...a lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough. We were lucky today" [2]. Norway captain Martin Odegaard described the exit as bitter but urged pride after Norway’s first World Cup in 28 years, saying, "We must be proud. The whole world is talking about us" [2].
Bellingham said the team showed resilience, adding, "When things weren't working, we found a way to win the game again...So proud of this team once again and a World Cup semi-final" [9].
England will face the winner of Argentina vs. Switzerland in the semi-final on July 15, 2026, in Atlanta [1, 2, 3, 4].
