Personally thought it should have been play on. Though I don’t really like the front on contact rule. I thought himmelberg hit ball first. And didn’t really make any contact after that.Easy call as his eyes never looked back at the incoming ball. That is one thing he needed to do which the umpire would’ve been looking for.
Ive seen the front on contact rule abused so often with players jumping under the ball into a defender who is actually playing the ball and getting a free kick. Should at least get a hand on it in order to be payed a free kick as well as the defender not hitting ball first.
