Twitter Reacts To Japan’s Controversial Goal Against Spain In FIFA World Cup
Japan defeated Spain in a Group E match of FIFA World Cup 2022 on Thursday to advance to the Round of 16. On the other hand, Spain also entered the last 16 despite the result, but it was Germany, who bore the brunt of Spain’s loss.
The Japan vs Spain match saw the decider coming from Ao Tanaka in the 51st minute but the goal sparked controversy for the way it was scored. Before Tanaka got his name on the scoresheet, the score was level at 1-1.
A VAR check was done on whether the ball went out of the playing area before Mitoma passed it to Tanaka, and the verdict went in favour of Japan.
The decision, which had such a big say in the fate of the game and also in Germany being knocked out of the tournament, sparked huge controversy with some coming in support of it and the others lashing out at it.
The goal turned out to be the one that resulted in Germany’s elimination from the tournament. Despite securing a 4-2 win against Costa Rica in a topsy-turvy match, Germany couldn’t progress to the Round of 16. Japan, on the other hand, booked their spot in the knockouts as winners of Group E.
