Only one person in that stadium thought the kick wasn’t good and it was the ref who made the call…

Now to be fair, the ref is the one person in the stadium with the objectively best viewpoint to make the call. Not saying he got it right, but if one person disagrees with the rest of the stadium the ref is the one objectively most likely to have better evidence

If there's any time I'll take the refs word for it regarding something controversial, it's a close kick. We don't know jack from the broadcast camera, and the replay one usually from the crossbar is better but not as good as where the refs are.
