[Advantage] A difficult advantage decision near the halfway line leading to a goal on the counter-attack

This is excellent refereeing, with the referee judging the advantage accurately in a position where that decision is very difficult. The offence occurred near the halfway line, and slightly inside Iwaki FC's own half. When there is still a long way to the goal, it is difficult to judge whether an advantage will really accrue, and it is easy to stop play and award a free kick. In that situation the referee appears to have taken in the whole picture, including the intention of the Iwaki FC players to keep playing and the position of the player in possession, and to have judged that the team could carry the ball forward at speed, and therefore applied advantage. As a result, that decision led to an excellent goal. Look also at the referee's running after advantage was applied. The referee kept up with Iwaki FC's rapid counter-attack without falling behind, and this quality of running, too, makes the scene a valuable example for match officials.
