Controversial Call: Norway's Potential Go-Ahead Goal Against England Voted Off by VAR

The decisive moment occurred in the second half of the high-stakes encounter when Norway appeared to take a 2-1 lead over England. Torbjorn Heggem found the back of the net, seemingly putting his team ahead in the crucial quarter-final match.

However, the celebrations were short-lived as the match referee, Clement Turpin, was prompted to review the incident via VAR. The replay technology identified an infringement in the build-up to the goal, specifically a push by Norway's Erling Haaland on England's Elliot Anderson.

Following the VAR assessment, the on-field official determined that Haaland's action constituted a foul, leading to the disallowance of Heggem's goal. The decision, which reversed what would have been a significant shift in the scoreline, proved to be a contentious point in the match.
