## Summary

England reached the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup after beating Norway 2-1 in a quarter-final in Miami Gardens that went to extra time. Thomas Tuchel's side, who had earlier urged his players to "play with freedom" and go "all-in", edged a tight contest against a physical Norway team that had knocked out Brazil in the previous round.

England had made two changes to the side that beat Mexico, with Ezri Konsa coming in at right-back for the suspended Jarell Quansah — allowing John Stones to return to central defence — and Noni Madueke starting on the right wing ahead of Bukayo Saka. Norway made a single change from their win over Brazil, bringing in Andreas Schjelderup, who had set up both goals in that victory, for Antonio Nusa. The match kicked off at 5pm local time (10pm BST) and was refereed by France's Clément Turpin, with the sides level after 90 minutes before England prevailed in the additional 30.
