Norway 1–2 England (AET). Andreas Schjelderup's cross-shot put Norway ahead on 36 minutes, but Jude Bellingham equalised in first-half stoppage time and struck again three minutes into extra time — reacting quickest after Morgan Rogers' shot was spilled — to send England into a first semi-final since 2018.

Argentina 3–1 Switzerland (AET). Alexis Mac Allister headed in a Messi corner on 10 minutes; Dan Ndoye equalised on 67 shortly before Switzerland went down to ten men. Julián Álvarez settled it with a stunning 25-yard strike in the 112th minute and Lautaro Martínez added a third at the death.

France 0–2 Spain. Mikel Oyarzabal converted a 22nd-minute penalty and Pedro Porro doubled the lead on 58 minutes as La Roja controlled the first semi-final in Dallas from start to finish.

England 1–2 Argentina. Anthony Gordon put England ahead on 55 minutes, but Lionel Messi conjured two late assists: Enzo Fernández levelled on 85 and Lautaro Martínez snatched the winner two minutes into stoppage time to send Argentina back to the final.
