The World Cup quarter-final between England and Norway is living up to the hype. It took a little while to get going, but before half-time the match really picked up pace.
The first real statement came from the Scandinavians through Andreas Schjelderup. Just under ten minutes before the break, the 22-year-old blasted the ball over England keeper Jordan Pickford from an apparently impossible angle and into the top corner.
The Three Lions protested furiously, as Harry Kane had lost the ball before the goal. But was he fairly dispossessed, or did referee Clément Turpin miss a foul?
The TV replays showed no clear foul. MagentaTV refereeing expert Patrick Ittrich also could not identify any infringement in the build-up to the goal.
The blow had landed, and the Three Lions looked shaken. Norway even missed the chance to score a second during this spell. Then, in first-half stoppage time, it was Jude Bellingham who gave his team renewed belief.
