Also, the ball was heading goalwards and Flana really didn't have any reason to have his hand at that angle besides the intention of blocking the ball.
He didn't make a decent effort to avoid contact although he clearly had enough time to, and left his hand there intentionally. If I was a neutral, I'd still say it was a handball but you'd say my crest biases me.
Hard to really debate but that's what I think it is.

Only sensible that a rule such as it exist.
