I think that the best thing to do in a situation such as this is to talk to your partner and ask him why he called what he did. Then, if you believe he interpreted something incorrectly, let him know, and explain why. Then give him the opportunity to change his own call.
Rut is refering to 2-5-3, Referee's duties during the game: "Decide whether a goal should count if the officials disagree."
