Both teams put in excellent performances to advance to the quarter-finals, with Norway creating a shock by defeating Brazil 2-1 thanks to Haaland's double, while England overcame hosts Mexico 3-2 despite having to play with a man down due to Jarell Quansah receiving a red card in the second half.Marc Guehi, who joined Manchester City in January, said: "It will be very interesting! I know Erling will be very determined in this match. This will be a big challenge for us. We will try to do our best to win."

The match promises to be an exciting and dramatic battle, where victory will not only be a source of pride for the nation but also an opportunity to write a name in the history of the tournament.
