    Not a good call.

    If a defender is backing into an already stationary player like its basketball then some hands on the shoulder is fair game. Otherwise jumping to a header would be impossible or you would flip over the defenders back. And its not like he did a 20 yard run into the box and hopped off someone’s shoulder. He was already there.

    He was bracing himself while jumping for a header. It wasn’t a push. Whilst, the defender was boxing him out. This kind of physicality is good for the game. Bogus call.

    DiLorenzo jumped too early, had to lean into the defender to stay up. You see after his jump reaches maximum height he stays in the air longer than Micheal Jordan.

    Totally right call.
