Should that not have been retaken? Neither foot was on the line when the penalty was taken

Must it be on the line or just over the line?

Apparently this is the wording, which, hands up, I was not aware was the case now:

When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goal line.

So, I guess she could have argued for the "in line with" part. I honestly can't keep up it seems like the rules change constantly - last I knew I was certain you had to be actually touching the line.

EDIT:

EDIT 2:

So, that is confusing tbh!

Haha ok so fifa are also unsure :D Not a big deal now because Spain won anyway, but that could have been very consequential
