Assuming this is correct, surely even if there is someone behind a player who saves the ball with his hand to deny a goal it is a yellow card offence? I couldn't understand how it wasn't a red but not showing a card at all is simply baffling.
For me, it's got to be red or nothing in that situation. He's gone nothing which means that he was confident the ball was not going to go in the goal or, as suggested quite plausibly, they did not know (or couldn't agree) who the culprit was.
In my refereeing days there were a number of occasions when I wasn't quite sure who committed an offence and I'd tend to step away and shout "over here, please, blue (or whatever colour)"; fortunately worked every time.
