The incident occurred when Hazard ran into the box down the right, and Piqué went to block his ball in by throwing himself to the ground, with his arms away from his body.
The ball struck Piqué's arm, but Slovenian referee Skomina decided that it hadn't been intentional and waved away the protests.
