History was made at the Club World Cup in Osaka as the Video Assistant Referees system was used to award a penalty
Kashima Antlers resoundingly defeated Atletico Nacional 3-0 to reach the Club World Cup final with a little helping hand from a piece of history.
Shoma Doi scored the opening goal of an enthralling semi-final in Osaka from the penalty spot after match official Viktor Kassai had used the Video Assistant Referees (VARs) system.
VARs is being trialled by FIFA at the tournament to aid with "match-changing decisions" and Kassai used the pitchside monitor to decide Orlando Berrio had fouled Daigo Nishi in the area.
