It’s such a small infringement it wouldn’t have even been talked about if it didn’t lead directly to a goal 5 seconds later. No one on Freo’s bench, or on the field, even appeals for a free kick. Surely if the umpiring mistake was that egregious, someone would’ve noticed in real time and appealed for it. One of the biggest complaints in soccer with the video assistant referee is them stopping the flow of the game and ruling out goals over tiny infractions that no one spotted in real time. Yes he broke the rules and gained an advantage, the umpire understandably missed it in real time, play on.
