Super Trophy Istanbul between a red team and a blue team

The only doubt on the penalty was whether Adrian made any contact with Abraham, and given that Adrian subsequently said that he did make contact would appear to clear that up.
It could be argued that not all contact impedes an opponent, however it could be counter-argued that Adrian attempted to trip
I'd argue the contact was feather-like, enough only to cause 'simulation' as IFAB refer to it

I would argue that at the speed Abraham was moving even the slightest contact is likely to affect his balance. I also do agree that he almost certain exaggerated it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a penalty.
 
Nobody talking about the winning save being off the line before Abraham had even completed his run-up?
