Possession in that instance is the same as a tap tap catch on the sidelines. Two feet down and control of the ball. If he were going to the ground in the process of the catch that would apply but he wasn't going to the ground. Control in that instance depends on whether the ball was moving when his 2nd foot came down. I'm not sure if we can get a closer look at the ball when that 2nd foot touches. Unless there's a clear shot that he had control and the ball wasn't moving then the officials would go with the call on the field. Good challenge, but tough to overturn based on what I see in that gif.
