England edged a tense, high-quality Round of 32 clash at a rocking Mercedes-Benz Stadium, eventually prevailing 2-1 against a Norway side that showed exactly why they qualified for their first World Cup in 24 years. The match was shaped by two moments of individual brilliance — Harry Kane's ice-cold penalty and Jude Bellingham's thunderous late winner — bookending a breathless Haaland equaliser that briefly threatened one of the tournament's first genuine upsets. England's structural superiority told in the end, but Norway's 4-2-3-1 caused real problems and Ødegaard's creative influence kept Gareth Southgate's successor's coaching staff anxious deep into the second half.

• England's penalty win-rate in knockout football under Southgate's successor remains elite — Kane converted his 7th tournament penalty.
• Haaland's equaliser was his 4th goal of the tournament, continuing his record of scoring in every knockout game he's played.
• Bellingham's winner came from outside the box — his 3rd goal of the tournament and all three have been match-winners.
• Norway's high defensive line was exposed 4 times by England's runs in behind; xG conceded from transitions alone: 1.1.
• Ødegaard created 4 chances — the most of any player on the pitch — but Norway's finishing let him down.
• England's press averaged a PPDA of 8.3, suffocating Norway's build-up through Berge and Aursnes.
