If the referee awards a penalty kick for an offence which involved a defending team player challenging an opponent for the ball, the same sanction should be issued to the player as for an attempt to play the ball.
If the offence within the defender’s penalty area:
➡ stops or interferes with a promising attack – no caution (no yellow card)
➡ denies the opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) – caution (yellow card)
Explanation:
It is not always clear whether an action was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball (or both). The same principle applies for challenging for the ball and attempting to play the ball.
Where the referee awards a penalty kick for a DOGSO offence, the offending player is only sent off (red card) if the offence was:
➡ handball
➡ holding
➡ pulling
➡ pushing or
➡ committed without the possibility to play the ball

If you follow the link, it seems the change is to add 'or a challenge for the ball' where it previously only said 'an attempt to play the ball'.
Looks like a minor clarification to me.

EDIT: In fact it happened against Hearts last game of the season. Was initially given a penalty to us and yellow card for the Hearts player. VAR ruled it was outside the box so it was changed to a FK and a red card.

I'm not really sure what a challenge for the ball that isn't an attempt to play the ball would look like, but as I said I think it's just a clarification.

I can only think that it's one of those situations where you're clearing the ball in the box and don't see the opponent coming to challenge for the ball from your blind side. Big swipe to clear the ball but he got there first and you boot him instead, albeit entirely accidentally.At Easter Road They Play.....
