Japan's second goal in their 2-1 win over Spain, which had seismic consequences at the World Cup, continues to be the main talking point.
Ao Tanaka's strike in the 50th minute turned the game around in Japan's favour - and ultimately sent them through to the knockout stages, dumping out Germany in the process. The fallout though has not been about the goal itself, but the assist, which looked to go out of play.
The assistant referee originally disallowed it, before a lengthy VAR check saw his decision overturned. To the naked eye, and in several camera angles, the ball looks to have clearly crossed the line before Kaoru Mitoma cut it back for his compatriot.
