The referee correctly identified the foul by the Iran player on the Belgian attacker and awarded the free kick. But no card was shown and no VAR check followed — and that's the missed sanction. The post-incident close-up shows the Belgian player's left shin guard ripped through to bare skin, which is direct visual evidence of studs-down high-velocity contact. Under Law 12, that level of force constitutes at minimum a reckless challenge (yellow card) and on a serious-foul-play reading (which the shin-guard damage strongly supports) a straight red. The free kick alone undersanctioned the action; the on-field decision is PARTIALLY CORRECT — foul right, card wrong.
