Noticed later in the event that the volunteers would not put the ball onto the pedestal until after the light went out. I think there was a little talk about it after that match.
I'm not sure if it's the same match, but I saw this at Southfield when the bars rejected a goal. The ball bounced behind the goal for what seemed like a long time, and then the ball bounced back on the field. By that point, the refs had already awarded the goal and the pedestal lit up so a new ball was entered on the field. It was strange seeing two balls on the field.
