It was better for the game.
Two observations.
First, with this being a scrim of 6-8 year olds I have no problem with the way you handled the situation. It was the best way and as you say, it was better for the game.
Second, if this had been a HS varsity game there is a different level of play and ability. That player just earned a T at the least or an ejection depending on variables.
