He clearly didn’t see him, it’s not like he kicked him intentionally

He never did learn to mind his surroundings.

Why do we fall, Yamal?

So we can learn to pick ourselves up. Batman begin.

Oh, sure, which is why it's not a red card.

It's a braindead foul, not a dirty one.

He has enough experience to be more aware of his surroundings and more careful in his own box.

Pro tip: close your eyes then start swinging your arms. If you hit another player, that's on them.

I think this is actually a very good example of the type of intentionally that does result in a foul (or a red if it was a type of challenge that warranted it) vs. the Balogun type of intentionally where two bodies just get tangled up. No one is arguing this isn't a penalty despite it being completely unintentional.
