In controversial fashion, the first ever use of instant replay determined that a penalty against Atletico Nacional should be called in Wednesday's Club World Cup semi-final, much to Kashima Antlers' delight.
Neither the referee nor the linesman saw a foul on Nishi right at the edge of the box, and after stopping play and rushing to the sideline to check the tackle in question, a decision was reached, though it appears it was done so incorrectly as it should have been called for offisde.
Victor Kassai, the referee to award the penalty, had already been in the record books as the youngest ever official in charge of a Champions League final.
Doi wrongfooted the Colombian side's keeper to grab the opener in a scenario that is sure to have a lot of repurcussions for world football as a whole.
