FIFA insists Japan’s second goal against Spain was legitimate and added some of the images shared online were “misleading”.
Date published: Friday 2nd December 2022 4:53 -
The goal sparked huge debate among television pundits and online, with ITV pundit Graeme Souness demanding FIFA share the images which had been used to help make the decision. “Japan’s second goal in their 2-1 win over Spain was checked by VAR to determine if the ball had gone out of play,” the first read.
A second post added: “Other cameras may offer misleading images but on the evidence available, the whole of the ball was not out of play.”
