Watching the Sweden South Africa game, and I don’t understand how Sweden didn’t get a red card on the SA goal. The player who gets the goal is clearly fouled and ends up flying into the back of the net and being down for a while, injured. Yes, they got the score, but she was fouled by what must have been the last defender, before the ball crossed the line. This seems like a clear infraction, and as far as I know the rules are simple on that. They must have reviewed it, but nobody even mentioned the foul.
