Attacking player is running after the last defender, chasing the ball. The defender slides and knocks the ball towards his goalkeeper who unfortunately wasn't in the best position. The goalkeeper dived and parried the ball away with one hand to prevent the ball entering the goal.
I gave an IDFK and the keeper a yellow card. I got a lot of resistance from the sidelines saying that the goalkeeper didn't pick the ball up but I believe that the goalkeeper still handled the ball (I think handling includes parrying and holding).
Was I correct in my decision?
