Norway Coach Claims Camera Cable Affected Crucial England Goal

The incident occurred in first-half stoppage time during Norway's World Cup quarter-final encounter with England. Norway's goalkeeper, Orjan Nyland, launched a long clearance that appeared to deviate unexpectedly.

According to Solbakken, the ball's trajectory was altered after striking an overhead camera cable. This redirection of the ball subsequently fell into the path of England's Elliot Anderson, initiating the play that culminated in Jude Bellingham scoring the equalizer.

Solbakken expressed his conviction that this intervention by the camera cable was a decisive factor in the sequence of events leading to the goal, which proved to be a pivotal moment in the match.
