Looks a clear dive to me. Others have said the same as you but changed their mind after seeing replay.

If he caught him, how did he exactly? Genuine question.

My immediate reaction was that it was a soft penalty and seeing it back reconfirms that. During his time at Dundalk, McMillan has no track record of diving and it is not at all clear like you suggest. He certainly cut in front of Garcia and was probably inviting contact. The relatively muted reaction from Garcia and other Galway players suggests that there was some sort of contact.

While the opening goal is always significant, Dundalk were worthy winners with or without the penalty award. Fair play to Galway though for giving it a go.
