Norway coach Ståle Solbakken says the overhead wire should be credited with an apparent factor in England’s equaliser during their Euro quarter-final meeting. According to Solbakken, the ball drops “straight from heaven” and he believes it comes down in a way consistent with contact with the overhead infrastructure. He points to FIFA’s ball-sensor information, which in the match is reported to show no contact, as part of the controversy. The match also features Norway’s earlier lead through Andreas Schjelderup, whose cross-shot puts Norway ahead. England respond through Jude Bellingham, who scores twice to secure a 2-1 victory and force the game into extra time. The dispute centers on whether the overhead wire could have influenced the equaliser despite the sensor reading, highlighting differing interpretations of what caused the ball to behave as it did. The sources present Solbakken’s comments as the basis for the claim, without providing an official ruling on whether any contact occurred.
