MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) --- Andreas Schjelderup scored for Norway in the 36th
minute and England's Jude Bellingham equalized in stoppage time on Saturday as
the teams entered halftime of their World Cup quarterfinal match tied at 1-1.
Schjelderup, making just his second start of the tournament, fired a shot that
caromed off the right post and into the net to stun an England team that had
dominated possession most of the first half. Bellingham's equalizer from close
range was his fifth goal of the tournament.
Schjelderup, who set up both of Erling Haaland's goals in Norway's win over
Brazil, celebrated by stretching his arms wide and looking at the crowd as his
teammates lifted him onto their shoulders. While they celebrated, England's
Harry Kane sat near midfield, grabbing his leg and looking toward the
officials. No foul was called.
It was a quiet first half for Haaland, who has seven goals in this tournament,
behind the eight of France's Kylian Mbapp and Argentina's Lionel Messi.
The winner advances to play either Argentina or Switzerland, who were set to
play Saturday night in Kansas City, Missouri.
There was a brief moment of silence before the match in honor of Jayden Adams,
the 25-year-old midfielder for South Africa whose death was announced earlier
Saturday.
