I wasn't paying complete attention for the entire game but if I remember rightly, that was the only decent mistake he made.
They're human, they make mistakes.
I've seen far worse ones to say the least. Players go out of their way to try and fool them and they don't have the luxury of watching it again like we do.
They are up against top class players with loads of experience, in a tough environment, trying to ref players who go out of their way to try and fool the ref, being watched and judged by millions. These modern footballers spend about as much time doing that as they do trying to score a goal at times.
From first look I thought it was a free. The player fooled him. Simple as that.
Refs might be shockingly poor at times, but somebody needs to do their job. Slate a ref when they do a bad job, fine, but I think they do need to be praised when they do a good job. Which I think they did tonight.
Refs get it bad at times, and sometimes deservedly so, but one mistake in a match that went to extra time and penalties, in a semi final, with a lot riding on the game, isn't a bad return.
