I think you're wrong
From the Laws of the game
An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper,
inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:
? controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds before
releasing it from his possession
? touches the ball again with his hands after he has released it from
his possession and before it has touched another player
? touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked
to him by a team-mate
? touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from
a throw-in taken by a team-mate
The key word is "deliberately" and in this case it was.
