Turkey #11 hit a shot or cross that struck an Australia player's arm inside (or near) the penalty area. From the footage, the Australia player's arm was extended outward from the body at the moment of contact β€” not tucked in naturally β€” which under IFAB Law 12 constitutes a handball offence because the arm was in an unnatural position making the body bigger. The referee allowed play to continue without awarding a penalty, and no VAR check was made. By the strict IFAB standard, this should have been a penalty kick to Turkey, making the no-call a wrong decision. Turkey #11 was visibly furious with the call, as seen in the final frames.
