It was Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland's kick in added time in the first half that Norway wanted to have retaken. The Norwegians are believed to have hit a camera wire.

"The ball fell straight down from the sky. It was pretty clear that it hit something," says Solbakken.

After the suspected wire touch, the ball ended up in English possession and seconds later Jude Bellingham made it 1–1.

"The referee should have been more on his toes. They talk about sensors, but they should have been able to see it," said Norwegian midfielder Alexander Sørloth.

Shortly afterwards, FIFA published a clip showing that the ball's built-in sensor did not register that it had hit anything.

"There is therefore no evidence that the ball hit the wire and changed direction," they write on X.
