The decisive goal for the Japanese is preceded by a dubious game
Spain lost this Thursday with a controversial action against Japan (2-1). The photo accompanying this information appears to show that the ball went out when the Japanese attacker passed it on to his teammate, the goalscorer Tanaka. However, the VAR validated the goal. At that time, the cold sweat began in La Roja. Because shortly afterwards Costa Rica scored. Fear. That team that had marveled on the first day of the Qatar championship was out on the street for a highly questionable move.
A moment when the referee of the match, the South African referee, in the VAR. He looked, studied the action, but… He judged the ball hadn’t crossed the bottom line. Live there were doubts and they remain. In one of the first reruns offered by television, it looked like it was outside. There was a time when images were no longer published by the race director. Soon after, however, there were more reruns, nothing conclusive. But there are pictures where it looks like the ball came out. But not. Because if it was decided in the VAR room that it was a goal…
Fortunately, Germany’s victory over Costa Rica prevented La Roja from being eliminated from the World Cup, but that game will remain in the history of this championship, like Joaquín’s center that did not play in Korea and that La Roja de Camacho’s victory for the hosts.
