The Spanish national team experienced a controversial arbitration shock during its participation in the World Cup currently being held in Qatar.
La Roja lost (1-2) to Japan at the end of the first round matches to occupy the runners-up of their group, but the loss was accompanied by a lot of controversy after the Japanese national team scored an exciting goal and asked a lot of ink in various media.
TV replays showed that the ball crossed the goal line before the Japanese striker passed it to his teammate to score goalkeeper Unai Simon.
However, the referee of the match indicated that the goal was correct based on a signal from the video technology, which indicated “a small part of the circumference of the ball’s circle touching the goal line and perpendicular to it,” which means that the ball did not go completely out of the field.
The technique was based on calculating the goal, for a replay shot from a camera angle located perpendicularly above the Spanish goal.

It was also found, according to press reports, that the electronic sensor inside the ball is not a separator in determining whether the ball has crossed the court lines, but rather a separator in determining identification, such as whether or not the player touched the ball.
