World Cup 2022: Costa Rica Defeats Japan: Shibuya Reactions

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Officers maintain crowd control using ropes and megaphones as large crowds of football spectators gather at the Shibuya Scramble in Tokyo, the world's busiest pedestrian intersection after Costa Rica defeated Japan 1:0 in a Group Stage match in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Costa Rica and Japan are now tied on points, but Japan ahead on Goal Differential, vying for a spot to survive a tough Group E and advance to the Round of 16.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police has recently adapted its crowd control tactics after over 150 people were killed in a crush situation on Halloween in Incheon South Korea and have developed new methods as a precaution to maintain order and avoid a similar situation at the Shibuya Scramble crossing during busy events.
