Making a technical mistake when receiving the ball

In this video we can see a bad mistake that ended up in a goal against Germany. This is a mistake that could have been avoided and is a technical mistake on the reception of the ball by the defender. Generally, this mistake is for taking the eyes off the ball or placing the right hand with a strong grip which makes the ball bounce off the stick.
