But there is nothing at all wrong with that. The player was at half waiting to come on, thats the rules. Nothing at all wrong with that. The fact that the ball gets played to him is not his fault.
And I disagree, as a defender your head is on a swivel at all times, I dont think that was unfair at all. Unfortunate? Sure. But the Senegalese player had no idea that backpass was coming. Right place at the right time, but no unfair advantage.
I do like the discussion from the panel though.
