This contact is not a fair challenge. This is a Foul for Charging. A Direct Free Kick must be given to the White team where the Referee observed the contact take place. Blue #15 does not touch the ball in this challenge. The amount of force used by #15 is greater than necessary to fairly contest for the ball.
