The referee, despite his excellent position and control of the situation, assesses as a violation the actions of the striker, who, on the contrary, is ahead of the defender in a correctly executed roll-up, who, in an attempt to knock the ball out, clearly strikes the opponent in the leg.
The camera behind the goal clearly shows that the attacker is clearly ahead of the opponent, and these actions are absolutely not an offence; and after the attacker has played, the defender kicks him in the foot.
The BAA referee, having read the dynamics of the situation and viewed all the video footage from the various angles available, correctly recommends that the referee review the episode on the pitch, and the 11-metre penalty is correctly awarded.
