Second half and extra time
After the break, the Norwegians came close to regaining the lead.

Later, Kristoffer Ajer won an aerial duel from another cross and hit the crossbar.
Regular time ended in a draw, and the decisive moment came at the start of extra time. Ørjan Nyland first saved Kane's header, then parried a shot from Morgan Rogers, but Bellingham was first to the rebound. The midfielder scored his second goal to put England ahead – 2:1.
After that, England could have been awarded a penalty: the referee pointed to the spot after Jed Spence fell in a challenge with Oscar Bobb. However, after VAR intervention, the decision was overturned.
Thomas Tuchel's team played solidly for the remaining time and held on to the narrow lead. In the semi-finals, England will face the winner of the match Argentina – Switzerland.
