What's there to review? The Zenit player managed to deflect the ball with his leg and bring it down; otherwise, the Bayern players would have been sidelined for quite a while. He just didn't manage to stop the momentum. In a struggle for the ball, someone always makes contact first, so should the second player always be penalized? Besides formalism, there should be some logic. That's why, after reviewing the replay, Advocaat clearly and confidently stated that there was no penalty. The situation was, at the very least, debatable.
Regarding the handball in the penalty area. This episode is up to the referee's discretion. I didn't notice any intentional handball. Besides this episode, there was an episode where the ball hit Tymoshchuk's hand in Zenit's penalty area (also in the second half). The referee made an identical decision.
Absolutely not identical. In the case of the Germans' penalty area, the ball was heading towards the GOAL (and there wasn't even a goalkeeper there), which is no longer up to the referee's discretion; it's a clear penalty. And if you consider the handball intentional (although I personally wouldn't), then it's a last-man foul and a red card.
