False Penalty – Defender Got Ball First (FUT Champs PS5)

Platform: PlayStation 5

Game Mode: FIFA Ultimate Team → FUT Champions

Date/Time of Occurrence: 10/18/2025 - 6PM CR Time

Video Evidence: https://youtu.be/KCk3C1xi8QM  (Same as Attached)

Description:

During a FUT Champions match, the referee incorrectly awarded a penalty against my team even though the defender clearly made contact with the ball before any contact with the attacker. The replay from multiple angles shows the defender’s foot cleanly touching the ball, changing its direction before any player collision occurs. Despite this, the referee still awarded a penalty.

This appears to be a gameplay/referee logic bug related to collision or ball-contact detection inside the penalty box. The system seems to misinterpret a clean tackle as a foul, even when ball contact is visibly clear.

Expected Result:

No penalty should be awarded when the defender cleanly wins the ball first.

Actual Result:

A penalty was awarded despite the defender clearly touching the ball.
