I, personally, don't see how white is scoring ippon here. As a BJJ guy, I see blue initiating to attack uchi mata, white attempting to defend, almost stuffing blue's attack by sweeping him onto his back, but blue gets his balance and ends on top inside white's closed guard. 

 I don't understand how white scores anything from this position, much less wins the match.

I don't get it either, ippon should have more control, it should be clear that the back has been planted on the ground.

The back doesnt need to be planted, landing in the neck bridge also scores ippon

I am aware of that, but I'm saying that in my opinion, ippon should have more control and more clear that the throw has landed on the back. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
