The Spanish player clearly walked into it.

I watched the France-Norway match live, and was baffled that anyone thought that wasn't a penalty. The defender wasn't falling down and had full control, yet followed through to the thigh on a 50-50. Textbook penalty for me, as it's clearly a reckless challenge - hence the caution from that wonderful referee, Bibiana Steinhaus.
