The Ref Stop

WC Final - Argentina vs France

The Ref Stop
I think Di Maria felt the touch on his back and was on his way down when the foot contact happened. A bit soft, but very poor defending.
Yeh I agree. I’m fine with either decision here but I lean towards pen, which I called real time.

Think VAR probably backs whatever ref gives here it’s one of those but for me it was a pen
 
This is one of those that would not have been given had he stayed in his feet. Still a foul nonetheless.
 
Otamendi must be booked there. Definitely for holding, and definitely SPA.

Secret directive in action?

Edit: my bad, thought Otamendi had been booked in the first half
