"Apart from this goal, Australia is indeed a troublesome opponent. The reason why Australia continued to hold the rhythm after the substitution was because attacks and passes between Japanese players were disrupted. In this case, Milligan played a big role in cutting Japan's attack."

The Australian national team supporters who came to the stadium felt excited. Finally, after being left behind 2-0 by Japan, Australia managed to chase Japan's score. Cheers were sent by the Australian fans who attended this match to the Australian players who were playing on the pitch.

The Japanese players tried to counterattack, but Milligan made a clean tackle and brought down Inoha, he also threw the ball off the field so that the momentum of the Japanese counterattack was lost.

Entering the 80th minute, Arragon immediately made a change of players. He pulled Keisuke Honda who was playing quite bad and then entered Okubo. Besides that, he also pulled Kagawa who was tired, and put Misaki Taro in. The entry of new players at least made Japan more able to withstand Australia's ferocity, which was getting worse and worse.

In the 82nd minute, Konno managed to cut Zola's pass to Tim Cahill, he then provided a short pass to the right. Uchida received the ball from Konno, at the same time, Tommy Oar stepped forward and was about to grab the ball from Uchida.

Kazuki was about to celebrate the goal, but the referee blew the whistle, the Japanese national team players immediately surrounded the referee. Misaki and Kazuki were the clearest about the goal, they were trying to convince the referee that the goal had happened.

However, the Referee remained firm in his stance. He stated that no goal was scored. The Japanese national team must accept this unfair decision. The match resumed.
