Norway’s World Cup campaign ends after the team is eliminated by England, followed by a dispute over the build-up to an England goal. According to multiple reports, Norway protest the decision made during the match, arguing the lead-up play should have been handled differently. Norway’s objections are not accepted, and FIFA says the correct decision was made.
All outlets point to controversy surrounding what Norway believes is a decisive moment in the lead-up to the goal. They report that FIFA maintains there is no basis to overturn the original call. At the centre of the dispute, reporters note that broadcast or available video footage appears to show the ball’s trajectory changing while in midair, which Norway says supports its claim that the play was not as officiated.
Despite the protests and the questions raised by the video, no overturning of the decision is reported. The match result stands, and the disagreement continues as Norway challenges the outcome of the key moment leading to England’s goal.
