On the last look I see his cleats clearly hit up his leg, and the first two camera angles were not what the ref saw. The ref was staring straight at the play. I think if CR player got any of the ball it could have been overlooked, but I thought a real PK.
Also the Costa Rican Oveido didn't seem to be arguing it since it was a big swing and a miss by him on the actual ball from Oveido.
Obviously, the poor victim needed urgent medical care to survive it the horrific attack.
That said, it's soft, but it's a penalty. Unlucky, goes that way sometimes. Don't swing and miss at the ball.
