Sheldrup curled a magical shot with his right foot, and the camera cable in the Miami sky saved Bellingham.

22 years old. Right-footed. Plays left wing.

World Cup quarterfinal, 36th minute. Andreas Schjelderup cut in from the left side of the box and curled the ball with his weaker right foot. The ball sailed past the rushing Pickford, hit the far post, and bounced into the net.

Norway 1-0 England. Hard Rock Stadium, Miami.

Schjelderup is 176 cm tall, a Benfica winger wearing the national team's No. 21 jersey. Coach Solbakken inserted him into the starting lineup before the match, replacing Antonio Nusa, who had started on the left throughout the entire tournament.

In a quarterfinal, betting on a 22-year-old winger who had scored zero goals in the tournament. Solbakken's gamble paid off in the 36th minute. Before the goal, Schjelderup had already recorded three assists but hadn't found the back of the net. This time, the net rippled, but it was the post that made the sound.

First-half stats: Possession 32% to 68%. Expected goals (xG) 0.34 to 0.22. Shots 5 to 4, shots on target 3 to 2.

The English passed the ball around like prayer beads, but it was the Norwegians who truly pierced the heart of the box.

Ødegaard took one extra touch. Haaland had made the run into space, but the ball didn't come. The window for a 2-0 lead closed.

In the 45th minute, a sky camera cable above Hard Rock Stadium bailed out the English.

Norwegian goalkeeper Nyland took a goal kick. As the ball traveled upfield, it hit the cable. The trajectory changed. The ball fell to England's Elliot Anderson, who passed to Anthony Gordon. Gordon squared it. Bellingham ran onto it and slotted it home.

2nd minute of stoppage time. 1-1.

No handball, no offside. The broadcast clearly showed the ball hitting the cable, its path visibly altered. The rules are clear: if the ball hits aerial camera equipment, play should be stopped and restarted with a dropped ball.

Referee Clément Turpin didn't blow his whistle. VAR didn't intervene either.

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg put it plainly on Fox Sports: "VAR can intervene if the contact between the ball and the camera cable is part of a reviewable attacking phase."

VAR remained silent. The replay was shown frame by frame, the curve of the ball's path unmistakable. The call stood. Norway assistant coach Kent Bergseth said at halftime: "The referee should have noticed this interference."

After Bellingham's goal, Solbakken grabbed a water bottle. He didn't approach the fourth official, didn't gesture at the camera. He just hurled the bottle towards the bench, hitting an assistant coach's foot.

All the frustration of 45 minutes, released in that one throw.

In the second half, Heggem scored from close range off a corner kick. The on-field referee initially signaled a goal. VAR intervened, Turpin went to the monitor, and determined that Haaland had fouled Anderson before the corner was taken. The goal was disallowed.

Kane also scored one for England, but it was ruled out for offside. In the 51st minute, Sørloth's cross headed straight for the bottom corner, but Pickford dove to save it.

The 1-1 scoreline was pinned firmly to the turf.

A ticket to the semifinals was right there. But Nyland's goal kick had hit that cable in the air.

The match continued.
