We were showed for example one video of a player going around a defender, being illegally tackled, going off balance but not falling down, getting a shot away while off balance, but seeing the ball just go past the post. Had the player gone down, it was a clear penalty, so most of us thought "no advantage, bring it back and award it"..
Advice was no, he took a chance to score and missed.. no advantage, goal kick.
