Maybe I'll recind my earlier agreement with you Hawk.
Here's the rule reference
SECTION 29 KICKING THE BALL
Kicking the ball is intentionally striking it with the knee or any part of the leg or foot below the knee.
I didn't see where in the description above the defender intentionally struck the ball with the knee or any part of the leg. Sounds more like he "caught" it with his legs.
Without seeing this, I'm having a hard time calling this a kicked ball.
