Controversial flicked free-kick

This is a brilliant and really sneaky free-kick from the Ukrainian football league. But should the referee have disallowed the goal?

It’s an indirect free-kick, so the player who touches the ball first is only allowed to make contact with it once. I think that the scoop ought to count as more than one touch and that the ref got it wrong. Sorry to be such a killjoy.

Google won’t reveal the name of the scorer or the clubs involved. Does anyone know?
