In the last round of World Cup group stage , Japan reversed Spain 2-1, but fans have hotly discussed whether the second goal of Japanese team is valid.
In this game, Japan overtook in the 51st minute, D Anru passes diagonally from the right side of the penalty area, Sanzao passes back near the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area, Tanaka Bi scored in front of the goal line, 2-1.
However, multiple screens show that the ball has already gone out of bounds before passing back near the bottom line on the left side of the Sanzao penalty area.
The Mexican referee only communicated with VAR and did not go back to the sidelines to watch the video, so the penalty was valid.
Spanish "As" said that this is the most controversial penalty so far in this World Cup. Among the four screenshots provided by FIFA , only one looks suspected to have not crossed the line. The other 3 photos show that the ball is obviously out of bounds.
However, some fans pointed out that there are chips in the ball now, and computers are more accurate than the naked eye for whether the ball is qualifying.
Do you have any opinions on whether Japan's second ball is effective?
