The ball was "in play" that's why it was called. It hadn't gone out of bounds yet. (as long as the ball isn't out of bounds it's in play)
That being said, it's another stupid rule that penguinz will probably call me "ignorant" again for because supposedly any rule you call dumb just means you're ignorant of said rule according to penguinz....
But in penguinz defense, he had a good analogy of the rule as he said "If Mahomes threw the ball and it was in the air and then he got plummeted with a late hit, its still a foul even though he no longer possesses the ball."
It's annoying because the keeper was playing the ball and it was a split second exchange of events but keepers can't run around punching people in the face while the balls in play. This rule is less dumb than the yellow card carry over for the group stage.
