Adidas ball technology could hold key to showing how Japan goal was allowed to stand
Adidas' ball technology could hold the key to showing how Japan's winning goal against Spain at the World Cup was allowed to stand.
Ao Tanaka's goal was initially ruled out by the on-field officials before a lengthy VAR review awarded the goal to the confusion of fans and pundits watching on. The ball had initially appeared to go out of play before being cut back to Tanaka, with no replays shown during the broadcast which clarified the decision of the VAR officials.
With no definitive footage aired by the host broadcaster before the end of the match, Adidas' ball technology could now be used to explain why the goal was given.

The Al Rihla ball being used in the tournament has been fitted with sensors which have already been put to use by the sports manufacturer.
Adidas used their technology to confirm that Bruno Fernandes had scored Portugal's opener against Uruguay on Monday night instead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo had initially celebrated the goal and claimed that he had flicked Fernandes' cross into the net, with replays unable to clear up whether he had made contact.
Should Japan's goal have been awarded? Let us know in the comments section below.
However, Adidas later revealed that their had been no contact, despite Piers Morgan stating that Ronaldo had text him saying he touched the ball.
A statement published in the Daily Mail read: "In the match between Portugal and Uruguay, using the Connected Ball Technology housed in adidas’s Al Rihla Official Match Ball, we are able to definitively show no contact on the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo for the opening goal in the game.
"No external force on the ball could be measured as shown by the lack of ‘heartbeat’ in our measurements and in the attached graphic. The 500Hz IMU sensor inside the ball allows us to be highly accurate in our analysis."
Both Graeme Souness and Gary Neville had criticised the lack of a replay which cleared up the confusion during ITV's coverage of the match, with fans in the stadium also left in the dark as to how the VAR officials reached their decision.
Japan were able to hold on to their lead after being awarded the controversial goal, with their win seeing them top the group ahead of Spain and eliminate Germany at the group stage for the second World Cup in a row.
