It most certainly was a penalty. You don't have to hurt someone to get a penalty, you have to gain an unfair advantage. Defenders are supposed to play more contain in that position. The defender ****** up and stuck his leg out and the striker did the right thing and tripped over his leg. It's not different than drawing a foul in basketball or football. The guy was outsmarted. How a play called correctly makes it a vagina sport I do not know. In Vagina American Football if you flinch your left pinky they will call a false start. Or if you touch a receiver the wrong way you will get pass interference. All while wearing layers and layers of pads. The sport is different. Just because you don't like it or don't understand it doesn't make it a vagina sport. It makes you a vagina.
