A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:
the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air
A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hand(s).
Learn the rules guys before you complain about referees endlessly
That’s not control though. The ball rebounded from the keeper. If he’d held it, it would be control. Also, “challenge” in this context is about taking the ball off him (like the awful non-decision in a Turkish women’s game recently).
Tbh I see it more often people being upset at inconsistency. Sure when they happen it may be based on rules, but the other half of the time that don’t get called pisses everyone else off

The ball was between his arms making contact with both his gloves. That counts as control under the rules
Challenge can mean that Turkish call or jumping in the air interfering with a keeper trying to catch the ball
Regardless, the mere presence of contact implies a lack of “clear and obvious error”
Most VAR calls that people are mad about are also based on rules.

Doesn’t fit the agenda innit
