He came on in the 74th minute. The commentators just didn't notice/mention it.

@kiwimurph they were too excited about Laumape leaving

I think that is really harsh. The ball was way up in the air. Very hard to successfully force it. I didn't think he intentionally knocked that dead.
Then don't try to. He didn't attempt to catch it and that's not a genuine attempt to ground a ball when it's that high off the ground. Good decision.
What law are you applying there?
Unfair play
A player must not:
Intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with arm or hand from the playing area.
If judging the same way deliberate knock ins are you are probably right but these dead ball area ones are usually judged with a different threshold.
He propelled the ball out, not downwards. Guessing intent from anything other than the clear evidence is for ignorant morons on Facebook.
Remove that and Laumape probably would've got to the ball.
Good application of the laws of the game.

@crucial but that the law. Knocking the ball dead with an opposite player in a position to score is PT and yellow.
No. Deliberately knocking the ball dead when the opposition player would otherwise probably score is.
I just think that both of those aspects are debatable so to call them both is harsh. -
@antipodean How can you say he 'probably would have got to the ball' though? He'd already missed it by the time Hegarty took a swipe.

I just think that both of those aspects are debatable so to call them both is harsh.And here I am thinking both of them are clear and obvious. Must be watching different games

I’m confused. You (and the ref) are guessing the intent.
It may have been intentional but I have no clue what was in his mind. Could just as easily have been a futile attempt to ground the ball.
Still can’t see how it was probable that Laumape would have scored. Possible yes. Not probable.
A guess in both aspects in my opinion -
