No Evidence That Ball Touched The Overhead Wire: FIFA
Jude Bellingham: FIFA has stated that there was “no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire" in Jude Bellingham’s equaliser in England’s 2-1 World Cup quarter-final win against Norway in Miami.
Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland’s goal kick appeared to clearly strike a camera wire late in the first half, allowing England to quickly surge forward on the attack and Bellingham scored the tying goal.
As per the rule, if the ball had been noticed hitting the wire, play would have stopped and a drop ball would have been utilised to determine possession. But, play was not interrupted. However, the game kept going. Even though Norway's goalkeeper Nyland and manager Stale Solbakken protested to the referee, their protests went unheard.
