Club Brugge vs Aston Villa·UEFA Champions League 2026/27, league phase·Sep 8, 2026

An open arm at shoulder height is a risk the player takes, and the corner became a penalty

Referee got this right
On-field decision
🥅Penalty
Correct decision
🥅Penalty, no card
What was given
Corner first, then a penalty to Club Brugge after an on-field review, and no card.
The call
Penalty and no card. The arm was in a position his body movement did not justify, and the promising-attack caution is excepted where a penalty kick is awarded for a non-deliberate handball.
