This is so clearly a handball, he uses his arm to keep the ball under his control. That's honestly shocking that they can't see it. Won't matter in the end though I imagine
Complete neutral btw
Here is the replay: https://youtu.be/vilYDREgjXE?si=Vv5YxTSDmOvLhecQ&t=476
It is close, but the ball hits his chest and deflects towards the ground. The arm is bent, but the first contact is clearly on the chest. The question is whether there is a second contact with the arm, or if the arm is pulled away fast enough. I watched it a few times at 0.25x speed. I don't see the ball make a secondary deflection. I don't see how it is obviously a hand ball.
Don't think it was intentional, but defo handball. Just no clue what the rules are and neither did the refs it seems.
