The England national team, led by Harry Kane, secured their place in the World Cup semi-finals in the early hours of Sunday morning. The Three Lions beat Norway 2-1 after extra time in a hard-fought clash in Miami.
After the Scandinavians took the lead through a superb goal from Andreas Schjelderup (36’), Jude Bellingham (45+2’) equalised shortly before half-time. The teams went into the break with the score at 1–1 – and it remained that way after 90 minutes. Early in extra time, Bellingham (93') scored the winner, sending the English fans wild.
Argentina await in semi-final
Kane was also over the moon after reaching the last four. “It feels incredible,” said the Bayern Munich striker. “It was a tough match that took a lot out of every single player.” The captain of the Three Lions, who played the full 120 minutes, quickly set his sights on the next challenge: In Wednesday’s semi-final (21:00 CEST), his team will face reigning world champions Argentina in Atlanta. “We’re enjoying this moment, we will recover and we’re looking forward to the semi-final.”
