Hard to tell from those camera angles, but there is a good argument for a foul at the end. Based on what we definitely do see, the clap catch is good, in bounds, and rotation stops. What happens next we're not sure from our angle. He's getting body contact from both sides of his body, and has to pull back his outstretched hands to compensate. If you look at how fast the disc falls, it seems it was swatted out of his hands. Dude is wearing a backpack and a half as he hits the ground.
@@magmar7118 Oh, I couldn't tell that #33 conceded contact. It looked like the ref was announcing that "something" was uncontested, but I just couldn't tell what. Maybe I'm the jerk cause I would've contested the heck out of that if I were 33 . Probably the most exciting game I've seen this season though!
If you go frame by frame, you can see a frame where it is caught, then a few frames later the receivers left foot down entirely in the black paint (inbound). The only question is, did the catch survive ground contact. If we accept that the foul is what caused the disc to drop, (which is reasonable -- there was a lot of contact, and what looks like the defender's hand hitting the receivers arms after it was caught), then the result indeed is a goal. Given that the defender self-called the foul (this is what the ref was signaling -- player overturned the call on field), then it seems the result was what it should be -- goal by Pittsburgh.
@@recovering_narcissist I know UFA rules are different as are USAU rules. But in WFDF rules it is irrelavant when exactly the contact happened, the initiating player commits a foul. And if a receiver was fouled while making a play on the disc (offensive or defensive) the receiver gets the disc on the spot where the foul occured. Normally there would be a check following this. If a receiver has however caught the disc and is in the processes of establishing possession (decelerating, landing from aerial catch etc) and the foul causes the player to go out of bounds when he would have been in the end-zone, there is no check. The goal is awarded directly.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's pizza party Pete!
Pitt would have won in OT anyways

Heart breaker for the Wind Chill for sure. Even with the call, should've been able to push it to overtime.
UFA needs to invest in Ref Training.
I’m at a loss for how that could have been called a catch at the end. Sucks to lose like that.
MN player #33 called a foul pushing him. He committed contact. I admit some bias here, but I’ll respect the integrity call for better or for worse.
