AL AHLI vs. AL HILAL_PENALTY AREA SITUATION_93β
We have to consider that a penalty kick is the highest punishment in football and gives a big advantage to a team, therefore a referee has to be 100 % sure before taking this decision.

This situation is not black or white. We can see in the video that both players commit a foul:
-the defender, trying to play the ball, kicks the attackerβs foot in a careless manner,
-the defender, trying to play the ball, kicks the attackerβs foot in a careless manner,
-the attacker, not trying to play the ball just looking for the contact from the defender, pushes the defender with his knee and hip and also blocks the defenderβs foot with the studs in a dangerous manner and then falls down.
Therefore, not only in my opinion but also other top FIFA and AFC instructors consulted, the best decision here is βplay onβ (no penalty).
