The World Cup quarterfinal between England and Norway was marked by a debate over England's equalizing goal, as England ultimately won 2:1 after extra time. Norway claimed that the ball touched a camera cable suspended above the pitch before Jude Bellingham's strike, but after review the goal was allowed to stand. teraz.sk ↗
The disputed moment came at the end of the first half. After the referee blew the whistle for halftime, Norwegian coach Ståle Solbakken gestured toward French referee Clément Turpin, drawing attention to a possible contact between the ball and technical equipment above the pitch. Goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland reportedly showed the referee that, in his view, he had seen the ball hit the cable. isport.cz ↗
After the match, FIFA stated that the sensor in the ball showed no contact with the cable. However, the Norwegian side insisted that the ball's trajectory before the goal was unnatural. Solbakken suggested that the cable deserved an assist for England's equalizer, since in his view the ball dropped from a height straight into a dangerous area. Der Standard ↗
Despite the protests, Norway could not overturn the result, and England advanced to the semifinals. For the Norwegian team, the match remained tied to strong emotions even after elimination, as Solbakken praised his players' performance afterward. The discussion will continue to focus on the use of technical sensors and on how referees should proceed in similar situations. Spiegel.de ↗
