CNN—Football history was made at the opening match of FIFA's Club World Cup in Japan on Thursday(Dec. 6, 2012) when goal-line technology (GLT) was made available to a referee for the first time.
Host side Sanfrecce Hiroshima beat New Zealand's Auckland City 1-0 to earn a quarterfinal clash with African champions Al Ahly of Egypt, but the result will remain a footnote to FIFA's "revolution".
