Late Goal Sends England Through

Jude Bellingham, the 23-year-old Real Madrid midfielder born June 29, 2003 in Stourbridge, England, scored the winning goal in the 118th minute of extra time at Miami Gardens Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on July 11, 2026. The goal came after a rebound from Bukayo Saka's shot fell to Bellingham at the edge of the box.

England's 3-0 victory over Norway featured goals from Bellingham, Harry Kane (the England captain who scored his 68th goal in his 95th appearance), and Bukayo Saka (his 25th international goal). Norway's Erling Haaland was held scoreless by England's defense, which has not conceded a goal in four World Cup matches.

England's semifinal appearance is the first since the 2018 World Cup, where they reached the semifinals before losing to Croatia. The semifinal match is scheduled for July 15, 2026 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, where they will face the winner of France vs Portugal. England last won a World Cup in 1966 at Wembley Stadium.

"I can't believe it," one England fan told reporters. "We always believe it's coming home, and tonight it feels like it actually could."

Manager Gareth Southgate, who has led England since 2016, has guided the team to major tournament semifinals three times (2018 World Cup, 2020 Euro, 2026 World Cup). England is seeking its first major trophy since 1966.

England's Path to the Final

England's run in the 2026 World Cup has included wins over Senegal (2-0, June 18, 2026), United States (1-0, June 23, 2026), Ghana (3-0, June 28, 2026), and Norway (3-0, July 11, 2026).
