Listen To The Whistle

Just watch the match South China vs Tuen Mun, I found a question that I can't answer myself after a period of time to condense.

My question is about the visitor's second goal, there's no doubt the scorer isn't offside, however, there's one more TM player is in front of goal and he is in somewhere close to the flight of the ball.

According to my knowledge of the LOTG, I remember if a player is able to affect the judgement of the his opponent's GK, it is also a kind of offside offence. Is there any misconception by me?

Another question carried out in the same match is tackling from behind. I count this a complicated question as the degree of punishment can be determined by the offending player's attitude, whether the force are excessive, etc. On the 78th minute, Nikola of Tuen Mun fouled Leung Chun Pong of South China from his behind. Clearly, there's no sense for the Serb to reach his leg to the ball but to stop the counter attack and harm the player instead. At the first instant, i thought it was a red one, but to my surprise, it's a booking.

I am not having doubt on anyone's ability, but just share something.
