NBTTT World Cup ball tech

It claims to have all the data required to be able to measure not only a touch but also a change in trajectory and / or acceleration as a result:

“A small inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor, typically operating at around 500Hz, is integrated into the ball. This sensor captures data 500 times per second, tracking the ball’s acceleration and granular movements in three dimensions. “

Physics would suggest that any touch must have some sort of effect however minor, so boundaries should be established as to how much of a change is significant in the context of football, but the tech is there so why not also demonstrate that?
