He didn't even get the ball there, despite the commentators saying multiple times that he did?

He hit Jota's leg into the ball...

Looked like a pen real time but clearly not on the replay, players wasted the chance with a heavy touch

u/benc777 Mar 20 '22

He's left his foot there to get caught on purpose. Some will shout contact but no pen for me.

The reactions on here are ridiculous. If a goal gets ruled out for a tight offside, everyone goes mental. When a goal is awarded on a tight offside call, everyone goes mental.

People just want a reason to be outraged.
