Ola Aina and James Justin battling for the ball in Nottingham Forest vs Leeds
The Nigerian defender conducted quite the rash tackle on the Whites player, with it resulting in a free-kick and yellow card for Aina.
The Tricky Trees were at risk of going down to 10-men which would have made it much easier for Leeds to secure all three points, although Stach did bring them home with a late winner.
Aina's tackled was reviewed by VAR, but that check did not change the on-field decision.
As with any key decision in a match, it will come under scrutiny.
With Hackett now explaining whether he believes the officials got this key decision right.
What has Keith Hackett said about the Ola Aina-James Justin moment?
Hackett has looked back over the footage of the incident involving Aina and Justin.
And on this occassion, the former referee believes this was a correct decision from the referee.
Speaking to MOT Leeds News, Hackett stated: "Referee Rob Jones judged this challenge accurately."
"The player came in low with pace in an attempt to play the ball. The challenge was reckless and rightly received a yellow card."
The former-PGMOL chief's judgement also lines up with his fellow refereeing peers.
With Mike Dean on Sky Sports News providing his verdict on the Aina tackle as well.
In the end, if those in the Leeds dugout did feel like a harsher punishment was deserved, they will be unlikely to care too much thanks to Anton Stach's winner.
Why Leeds must fear Nottingham Forest revenge
Leeds are now set to travel back to the City Ground on Tuesday, 25 August in the Carabao Cup.
Farke will want to try and bring more success to the Whites this season, whether that is through a trophy or European qualification.
Well, winning the Carabao Cup would provide them with both at once.
Leeds have been handed a tough tie, as shown by their slim margin win in the opening weekend of the Premier League.
And while Leeds know what to expect from their opponents, Forest have the same advantage.
Oliver Glasner's side will be looking to enact revenge, and dent the Whites' cup ambitions early on.
The 1-0 win is not a sign of things to come on Tuesday, with the fixture once again likely to be close.
