Wrong. The penalty was given for dangerous play (high boot, contact with studs to Morgan’s torso) and the foul occurred in the box while the ball was in play. Dutch player missed the ball. Clear penalty.
In what universe is this ball out of play? The very fact that Morgan braces to take contact means it altered the play but it doesn’t matter as the rule does not require the ball to eventually go out without further attempts to play it.
