If that's the case, WTF is VAR playing it putting that foul on Cavani foul outside the box.I think you know the answer to that is that it doesn't. But it is an accepted convention and pretty much consistently applied across all leagues.
First contact, yes, outside, by an armpit, The crunch on the foot continues onto the line at least, there's probably still foot on foot contact inside the box. Then there's various amounts of leg to leg and leg to thigh contact as Cavani is "hacked down" in the box. Sorry I don't have a video.
It's a basic LotG question that is incredibly important if VAR is going to be used to determine if fouls should be given as DFKs or PKs - is the very very first initial contact the point of the foul?
