Replay crew was busy in this one. Otoguro was so close to pulling it off at the buzzer. A couple of situations were difficult to score for my novice eyes.

Match starts around 8:25:00

Absolutely. Refs had it 8-4 Otoguro and changed it to 6-6 after review. Then Otoguro scores at the end to win and it gets taken away on review. So close and probably could have been scored for Otoguro. He hasn’t been quite the same since his injury a couple years ago
