The women’s football competition at the Olympics has been exciting, bringing surprises to fans one after another. In this regard, well-known commentator Huang Jianxiang also expressed his personal views, “Japan’s women’s football team reversed Brazil 2:1, both goals came in the last moments of the game, which truly reflects the tenacious spirit and strength of the Japanese team.”
In addition, Huang Jianxiang also said, “In the Japan game, they got a penalty kick in the last minute of each half (the first one was saved). If according to the standard in the European Cup match between Spain and Germany, where the handball by Cucurella in extra time was not whistled, Japan’s two penalty kicks seem to be questionable.”
Huang Jianxiang specifically analyzed, “The first one, the Brazilian defender almost had the same action as Cucurella, she was also in the process of retracting her arm towards her body when she was hit by the ball, and her arm was even slightly less open. The second penalty kick, the Brazilian defender fell to the ground and her arm naturally supported her first, the Japanese player dribbled the ball to her arm later, the order of these two actions was very clear. However, after the VAR intervened, the referee seemed to hesitate for a moment but still awarded the penalty.”
Finally, Huang Jianxiang concluded, “Both Japan’s men’s and women’s football teams have performed exceptionally well at the Olympics. The gap between us and them is no longer a competition at the same level.”
