FIFA clear up confusion as they explain why that controversial goal was given JPN
Japan beat Spain 2-1 in the World Cup group stage to secure the team’s qualification to the next round of the World Cup but it wasn’t without controversy.
There was some confusion about the winning goal as Kaoru Mitoma’s touchline cross looked like it had gone over the line and should’ve been ruled out, before Ao Tanaka prodded in. “The video match officials used the goal line camera images to check if the ball was still partially on the line or not. Other cameras may offer misleading images but on the evidence available, the whole of the ball was not out of play.”
Japan are due to play Croatia next in the last 16 in the hope of reaching the quarter-finals while Spain take on Morocco, with both having narrowly missed out on a berth in the last eight in Russia four years ago.A day after the controversy, there was more as Uruguay will feel aggrieved not have been given at least one penalty in their final group game against Ghana.and furious players chased officials down the tunnel at full-time to make their point.
