Jonathan Silva should have had his arms down, but that's not malicious intent, it's just being a noob and using his arms for balancing. You give penalties for DELIBERATE handballs, the rate at which penalties are being given for balls hitting arms at point blank range is ridiculous. And the distance between your arms and your face is not 10cm.

Maenander, Sporting were not unlucky. The double yellow was given for a normally disputed header in the midfield, it's genuinely ridiculous. Then in the last penalty the referee lets it go at first, the assistant referee does not raise his flag and the penalty is only given like 5-6 seconds after the play. The only explanation is that the goal line referee communicated that he thought the ball hit the hand when he was 3 meters away from the play, looking straight at it, and couldn't tell the difference between a face and an arm (which btw are way more than 10cm away from each other).
