Caption,

No evidence was shown in the television broadcast of how it was determined that the ball did not go out.

It is one of those controversial moves that are seen over and over again, fueling debates and persecuting its protagonists for a long time.

In this case, those who will not easily forget it are the footballers of the German team, although it did not happen on their playing field.

Did the ball cross the end line just before Japan’s second goal against Spain, the one in Japan’s 2-1 win?

It will be the eternal question for the German team, which this Thursday was eliminated from the Qatar 2022 World Cup with Japan’s victory over Spain thanks to a goal that left many in doubt.
