I'll concentrate on the red part.
Marquez going to ground AND missing the ball. That in itself is a foul. At this point the attacker can do whatever he wants, he can choose to not take the foul and continue on. Or initiate contact, fall over, cry whatever and it's a foul for the defender.
Defenders need to stay on their feet.
