[No Handball] A miscued clearance deflects onto the player's own arm

This scene is a good opportunity to review whether the ball striking the right arm of Gamba Osaka's No. 2 was a handball offence. In short, the no-handball decision was reasonable. When the ball strikes a player's arm directly after the player's own kick or clearance, it is treated as a "deflection" and, as a rule, is not a handball offence. The referee was probably aware that the ball had struck the arm, but rather than applying advantage, judged it to be "no handball" because of the deflection and allowed play to continue. Even when the footage clearly shows the ball striking an arm, a deflection can mean there is no handball offence. This is worth remembering when learning the Laws of the Game.
