Hmm seems like a ridiculous rule, I’m on the fence on this. The defenders second touch was to try and get away from the offside player wasn’t t?He took two touches (a chest and a foot) before Rodri swipes it off his foot. How many touches does he get before you call it control?
To me, calling a chest control seems a bit much but once the player also uses his foot to direct the ball afterward it has to be control/possession. And once that happens, the new phase of play has started so it doesn't matter if Rodri was previously offside or if he gains an advantage from having been previously offside.
Ultimately he hugely benefited from being offside so it’s very frustrating.
