You should see this happen regularly at all of the competitions this year. The DQ penalty is in place more for a deliberately placed "late" keeper.
Thanks, that explains what I saw as well.

As an aside, many times actions are not alway communicated clearly or at all to spectator either, I wish they would so we could have the facts too and not be left confused, trying to figure it out.
