I was down that end, and my first reaction was that it was a red, albeit a soft one. I thought there was contact, and if there was, then it was a red. I think neither player was helped by the back-spin on the ball; the ball definitely changed direction, and both players reacted to that, which probably knocked both off balance a bit.
No quibbles with the rest of your summary at all though. Awful game. We had something like ten corners in the first half (mostly against 11) and one in the second half (against 10)
Have to look on it as two points dropped really.
