[Onside] Did a player jumping behind the goalkeeper affect an opponent?

The question is whether Yokohama FC's No. 9, who jumped behind the goalkeeper, affected an opponent, and therefore whether this was offside. It can be seen that No. 9 was in an offside position at the moment of the shot. However, being in an offside position is not an offence in itself. It only becomes an offside offence if the player affects an opponent. The Laws of the Game describe interfering with an opponent as follows. ====== interfering with an opponent by: ・preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or ・challenging an opponent for the ball or ・clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or ・making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball ====== Applying this Law, No. 9 was directly behind the goalkeeper and outside the goalkeeper's line of vision. Because the player jumped at the last moment, some viewers may feel the player was involved. What matters, however, is whether that jump affected an Omiya player. As the jump happened outside the goalkeeper's line of vision, it can be judged that it did not affect the opponent, whether the player jumped or not. This was excellent work by the referee and the assistant referee in judging the involvement of a player in an offside position.
