First major conservational decision

A conservational decision by referee has given Japan a goal lead against Australia in a must win game for both. Goal happened in a bizarre way when Nakamura’s cross from right went straight into the goal but the replays showed that the Australian goalkeeper was knocked off balance right at the moment when he was about to clear it by not one but two Japanese players(unintentional but nevertheless). It sparked a huge protest from Socceroos but referee decided it was a goal (though only him and Japanese would say it was Goal). Though game is played in fast pace and lots of build ups but non being converted into a real chance and Australians have mostly been disappointing, specially with such high profile forward line. Lets see what they come up with in second half.
