Amazing game. Farag did an incredible job of moving Coll around the court. You could tell some of his unforced errors were from the shear pressure Farag put on him.
I can only guess that the ref thought Coll pushed Farag into the line, because of where Coll's left arm was. Farag apparently thought that was the case based on his gesticulation afterwards. It doesn't look like Coll actually impacted him much with that arm to me, though. Farag just cleared the wrong direction, caught off guard by how bad his shot was, and ended up on Coll's left shoulder as a result.
I think it's more a commentary on the fact that Coll was pushing very hard to win good positions in the rally and going for relatively safe attacks. Farag, at least in the beginning of the game, made quite a few errors / loose attacks from questionable positions, looking very out of sorts. Coll was also the underdog, having been in poor form for a while while Farag was on a winning streak, so the commentators would've naturally been pulling for Coll a little bit.
Unfortunate because he was making those mistakes from dominant positions. Farag, however was making mistakes from bad positions, where he was under more pressure and on the back foot.
What a great crowd! We need more of this
Super impressive how much forehand play there was, never see rallies down the right side of the court so much
Amazing squash!!
"Wow... those two players are absolutely incredible at squash."
Amazing squash

Paul Coll is the king of the "reset lob". Such a good scrambler
wow
How in the world is that a yes let? Once again PSA shows that absolutely anyone can be a squash ref....because none of them know what they are doing!

Coll's mistakes are called bad luck or "unfortunate" by the comentators. So one sided.

Your imagination playing games I'm afraid, a very even commentary.
