Camera footage and sensor data have shown that Jude Bellingham’s goal against Norway did not hit a camera cable before reaching the scorer.
- New images from the Spidercam above the stadium showed the ball followed a natural trajectory and did not touch any cable, The Daily Mail reported.
- FIFA reviewed video from multiple angles and colour‑enhanced images, and sensor data inside the ball recorded only three touches: the goalkeeper’s kick, the pass by Theodor Anderson, and the contact with the ground.
- The referee stated he did not see the incident and received no indication that the ball hit the camera.
- Norwegian players described the decision not to stop play as “ridiculous,” according to the source.
