Bellingham's Brace Leads England to World Cup Semi-Finals

In the World Cup quarter-finals, Jude Bellingham's brace propelled the England National Football Team to a 2-1 victory over Norway, allowing them to advance to the semi-finals for the first time since the 2018 tournament in Russia. Norway took an early lead in the 36th minute when Andrea Schjelderup's mishit cross found the top corner of the net.

England equalized just before halftime, with Bellingham collecting a pass from Anthony Gordon, gliding past two defenders, and slotting a low shot into the far post. Norway had a goal disallowed in the 54th minute due to a push during a corner kick.

After a tense second half, England regrouped and scored the winning goal in the 93rd minute of extra time, with Morgan Rogers' shot being pushed back into the danger area, where Bellingham reacted fastest to slide the ball into the net. This marked Bellingham's sixth goal of the tournament and made him the youngest English midfielder to score a brace in a World Cup knockout match.
