Norway head coach Stale Solbakken reacted visibly to England's first-half equalizer in the World Cup quarter-final, launching a water bottle towards his own backroom staff. The incident occurred just before halftime, shortly after Jude Bellingham scored to bring England level.

England's equalizer came in first-half stoppage time. Bellingham drove into the Norway penalty area and finished with his left foot. This goal canceled out Andreas Schjelderup's earlier, somewhat fortuitous, cross that had given Norway the lead. The concession of the goal appeared to be too much for Solbakken, who threw the water bottle he was drinking towards his bench in a display of his frustration.
