VAR Overturns Norway Goal After Haaland Foul in Quarter‑Final vs England
In the Norway‑England quarter‑final, Heggem’s goal was overturned after VAR examined a foul by Erling Haaland on Elliot Anderson. The referee, Clément Turpin, applied the new IFAB set‑piece rule for the 2026 World Cup and ordered the corner to be retaken.
The decision underscores stricter enforcement of contact inside the penalty area during set pieces. Fans witnessed a rare instance of a goal being nullified due to a pre‑kick foul.
