He made a genuine attempt to get the ball, so just a yellow.In this case it should be changed to a 'penalty goal', the same as a 'penalty try' in rugby union. IMO we are still 'behind the times' with stuff like this but hopefully we'll eventually 'catch up'!
You could tell by his expression though that he thought he was getting sent off.
PS: I also participated in quite a few pk deciders in my footie career. Missed my 1st one when I was a young kid playing in a national five a side final. Never missed any pen after that one and 'revelled in it' - IMO all about technique, full concentration and belief in scoring. I came across lotsa players who refused to volunteer and didn't have the mental strength to 'take up the challenge'. Everybody different eh!
