That's what us defenders call the "perfect amount of contact"

Just enough to throw him off, but not enough to concede a PK.
I think the ref was close enough to realize that he fell AFTER the contact was made. If he would have fallen a quarter of a second earlier, probably would have been called. It was the flop and extension of the arms that gave away the dive.
