Ventforet Kofu will face Iwaki FC in the 13th section of the J2 League on the 3rd. Various opinions are flying around the scene where DF Ryo Endo was sent off due to DOGSO (denial of a decisive scoring opportunity) triggered by the play of former Nigeria national team FW Peter Utaka.
In this match, in the 35th minute of the first half, when Utaka was trying to close in on the opponent’s goal, Endo made a sliding tackle from behind. When Utaka collapsed, the referee showed Endo a red card. However, in the DAZN broadcast video, Utaka collapses immediately following avoiding Endo’s sliding, and it seems that there is no contact between the two players. In addition, while the Iwaki players protested to the referee, Kofu had a numerical advantage, and immediately following that, Utaka’s goal opened the scoring.
For that reason, online comments such as “Did you touch Utaka?”, “Utaka fell following dodging Endo’s slide, so I can’t understand why he left”, “Isn’t it a simulation of Utaka?” It’s tough…” In addition to the comment, there are also opinions calling for the introduction of VAR (video assistant referee) in the J2 League. On the other hand, Kofu supporters and J-League fans have praised the player, saying, “Utaka’s old-fashionedness won” and “Utaka’s presentation was good.”
Kofu won the match once morest Iwaki 1-0. Even with more than 10 minutes of additional time in the second half, they managed to shake off the opponent’s counterattack and moved up to 4th place, 6 points behind leaders FC Machida Zelvia.
