Norway made the first clean break in this summary and took it on 35'01'', Schjelderup finishing with Odegaard supplying the assist. England needed a response and found it right on 45'00'', Bellingham levelling from Gordon's pass to send the match into the interval at 1-1.
Thomas Tuchel reacted immediately after the break, sending on Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze for Noni Madueke and Declan Rice. The second half then delivered one of the game's biggest swings when Torbjorn Heggem had a Norway goal cancelled by VAR at 56'48''. It kept the score level, kept England alive and changed the feel of the contest.
Extra time belonged to Bellingham. He struck again at 92'34'' to complete the turnaround and settle a tense result that never really loosened its grip. Darren's line - "Sempre há uma razão" - lingered over the finish, and England's reason was their No. 10 arriving in the decisive moments.
There was more late drama when a check involving Oscar Bobb ended with "No Penalty" at 101'18'', and Kristoffer Ajer was booked at 116'30''. The stats and pressure gave Norway hope, but the final score and the highlights belonged to England.
