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.

Abe lands in the neck bridge from the counter throw, which is considered an ippon.
