England defeat Norway in a World Cup quarterfinal, with Erling Haaland largely neutralized during the match. Multiple reports describe Haaland as a non-factor for much of Norway’s quarterfinal against England, with England limiting his impact as Norway’s hopes remained tied to the closing stages. As the game moves into the final period, Haaland is substituted late—reported as about 15 minutes before the end of extra time—while Norway are still in contention. One outlet also links the timing of Haaland’s removal to the hot and humid conditions in South Florida, describing the physical strain of the environment as a factor. Norway’s tournament run ends after the quarterfinal loss, with England winning 2-0. The match narrative across sources centers on England’s ability to keep Haaland quiet and on Norway’s inability to break through as the game reaches its crucial final stretch, including extra time.
