From what I could tell, yes, If they each had a hand on the ball and it was a tug-of-war, that would be one thing. This looks like the kid had his hand on the ball, and the man on the ground had his legs around the kids arm, crushing it, and then wrenched the ball from him.

Again, very difficult to see exactly what happened, but the kid’s reaction certainly seemed like he believed he had possession of the ball and it was taken from him.
