I think he's got it right, I instantly thought penalty, but the attacker's boot was up there and it was dangerous play for me.
 
I have no idea what he's given here, or why...

Attacking indirect free kick in the area...
 
3 mins of added time. Could've been about 15! Apart from one crazy decision (I'll try and find a link for those not watching), he's doing incredibly well here. It's almost an impossible game to ref
 
The refs card brandishing technique is brilliantly dramatic! After the red the goalkeeper claimed a groin injury after a shot went over his and and he didn't have to move. After 3 minutes on the floor he got up and smashed a goal kick 70 yards lol.
 
Think that was an obvious penalty. The indirect free kick I feel there was no contact, so you can give it. Most probably would have played on

The more I watch it, the more I'm thinking penalty....keeper came out late, missed the ball, got the attacker.
Did the attacker even touch the keeper at all? Attacker kicked the ball and immediately brought his foot down. Seemed to me like the keeper was feigning injury.
Keeper came out, got there late and cleaned up the player. That's a penalty.

I can see it both ways. Important to note that the referee:
A) Didn't blow straight away
B) Only decided on the defensive free-kick about a minute later when the keeper was seen to (so it seems)
 
Had absolutely no idea from the initial clip/angle, can certainly see how if you're not sure, defensive FK seems like the safer option. From the side view, looks a clear penalty. As others said, keeper was late.
