Live Bar March 31 News In the final battle of the round of 12, Japan drew 1-1 at home with Vietnam and finally ranked second in the group. In the 78th minute of the match, Japanese captain Ma Yoshida also missed a mandatory goal, and in the case of being several meters away from the goal and facing most of the empty goal, he pushed a kick into the far corner of the goal, the ball rubbed the goalpost out of the bottom line, and Yoshida Ma, who missed the goal, also knelt down and covered his face in chagrin.

The AFC first forwarded the video of Maya Yoshida missing the empty goal on social media for the first time, and wrote with the text that "Maya Yoshida fans turn their faces away!" There is also an icon of a monkey covering his face in the text.

The tweet also caused the anger of Japanese fans. After the Japanese media "Football Digest" reported on this, fans left a message at the bottom: "What is this called!" "This tweet is so funny" "Can you explain what the monkey's expression means?" Is it discriminatory against Japanese? "Why put a monkey's expression in the text?" Has the AFC forgotten about Saudi Arabia's previous racially discriminatory acts against Maya Yoshida? ”

At present, the AFC has not deleted the relevant tweets, nor has it explained them.
