Japan, which is facing Mexico in the US, where the FIFA World Cup (World Cup) will be held in the North and Central America in 2016, gained a numerical advantage just before the end, but then drew with a scoreless draw of 0-0.
In the 45th minute of the second half, forward Ueda Kyoyo (27, Feyenoord) escaped and tried to get one-on-one with the goalkeeper, when Mexican defender Montes slid from behind. This was considered a foul, and the referee gave Montes a yellow card.
However, the test was then conducted with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), and the decision was changed after checking on-field review (OFR). It was said to be “a decisive opportunity to score,” and the referee canceled the yellow card and changed it to a red card.
