The Japan Football Association Referees Committee admitted that the referee misjudged a goal in the Mariners 4-0 Urawa match

6686 Sports News, November 12 Today, the Japan Football Association Referee Committee held its eighth referee briefing this season. Referee Committee Chairman Kenji Ogitani and Referee Manager Sato Ryuji attended the meeting and admitted that there was a misjudgment in the 34th round of the Japanese Professional League this season when Yokohama Marinos 4-0 Urawa Red Diamonds.

In the 45th minute of the game, the Urawa Red Diamonds defender hit the opponent's penalty point, and Yokohama Marinos foreign aid Crooks made a penalty kick, helping the team expand the score to 3-0. However, Ryuji Sato said that the Yokohama Mariners players were offside before this violation occurred, so Urawa Red Diamonds should be awarded a backcourt set-piece opportunity, and the twelve yards did not exist.

It is reported that during the halftime break of the game, the video referee reviewed the first half as usual. It was during the review process that the video referee discovered the missed offside call. Sato Takashi said: "The game used video referees, but did not make the right ruling. This is an issue that we and all Japanese professional league referees must treat carefully. With a system like video referees, this kind of thing should not happen again."
