Dirty Tackle has the background on this one:
In the 16th minute, with Australia already up 1-0 over Equatorial Guinea, Leena Khamis hit the post with an attempt to score her second goal of the match. When the ball came off the post, Equatorial Guinea defender Bruna casually grabbed the ball with both hands, then dropped it as the Australian players jumped around, shouting as loud as they could for a handball call. And, even more unexplainable than the blatant handball itself, the call didn't come and play carried on.Australia won the match 3-2, so fortunately the end result was not impacted by the missed call. Hopefully the referees in this match will be penalized for the rest of the tournament, because it's painfully obvious that they were not paying attention here.
