Miami Gardens, Florida: Erling Haaland was held scoreless for the first time at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as England defeated Norway 2-1 in the quarterfinals, ending the Scandinavian side's tournament run.
Haaland, who entered the match with six goals in four appearances, struggled to make an impact against England's defence and was substituted during extra time with Norway still searching for a way back into the game.
England ultimately secured a 2-1 victory, with Manchester City midfielder Jude Bellingham scoring both goals to send his team into the semifinals.
Haaland managed just two attempts on goal during the match, with only one effort on target, and was largely contained after the opening half.
The Norway striker had been one of the standout performers of the tournament, but England succeeded in neutralising the competition's leading scorer and limiting his influence throughout the knockout encounter.
The defeat brings Norway's World Cup campaign to an end, while England advances to the final four with momentum after overcoming one of the tournament's most dangerous attacking threats.
