Incident
Foul (outside box)
Law cited
Law 12 — a late, mistimed challenge that catches an opponent is a foul, and when made recklessly it is a caution
Recommended action
The foul is correct and a yellow was warranted, but it is not a red — Olise arrived late and caught the Spain player's ankle in a reckless challenge, which is a caution.

Olise slid in late on a Spain player and caught his ankle; the referee gave a free kick but no card, while some demanded a straight red. This is partially correct. The foul is right, and a late challenge catching an opponent's ankle is reckless, which is a caution — so the referee under-sanctioned by missing the yellow. But it is not a red: the challenge is of moderate force and mistimed, not the excessive-force, safety-endangering intensity that serious foul play requires. PARTIALLY CORRECT, medium confidence — the missed element is a yellow, it flips to CORRECT DECISION if read as merely careless, and it is not a red on any reading.
