An exciting match like Japan vs. Spain deciding to advance to the Round of 16 of Group E had to have its share of controversy.
Japan and Spain played the passage to the eighth finals on the third and final day of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar. In a match that corresponds to Group E of the World Cup, Spain was worth the tie, but Japan in principle was not.
And as expected, it was a party conducive to controversy. It arrived with a draw on the scoreboard and the Spanish team was eliminated after 1-1.

On the next play Mitoma swept a ball from the baseline, almost sending it under goal, where Tanaka pushed it. After the VAR review, the referee gave Japan 2-1 when the technique said the ball hadn’t quite left the bottom line.
In addition, that goal jeopardizes Spain’s qualification for the World Cup round of 16, which is also in the hands of what happens in Costa Rica vs. Germany.
