ThisThink it's the fact he stopped completely...
He took another step. Therefore his run wasn’t complete.Offences and sanctions
Once the referee has signalled for a penalty kick to be taken, the kick must be taken. If, before the ball is in play, one of the following occurs:
the player taking the penalty kick or a team-mate infringes the Laws of the Game:
except for the following when play will be stopped and restarted with an indirect free kick, regardless of whether or not a goal is scored:
- if the ball enters the goal, the kick is retaken
- if the ball does not enter the goal, the referee stops play and restarts with an indirect free kick
the goalkeeper or a team-mate infringes the Laws of the Game:
- a penalty kick is kicked backwards
- a team-mate of the identified kicker takes the kick; the referee cautions the player who took the kick
- feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker
a player of both teams infringes the Laws of the Game, the kick is retaken unless a player commits a more serious offence (e.g. illegal feinting); if both the goalkeeper and kicker commit an offence at the same time:
- if the ball enters the goal, a goal is awarded
- if the ball does not enter the goal, the kick is retaken; the goalkeeper is cautioned if responsible for the offence
When son stopped, he had completed his run up, therefore it was an offence. Seriously, that rule has been around for years
