First, Neves' handball in the penalty area didn't result in a penalty because it was caused by his teammate Vitinha. We can see the ball heading straight for his head, and Neves trying to dodge it, but his arm moves forward, which is understandable; it's a natural human reaction, given that we clearly see he's trying to avoid it. Second, Mendes' handball was deliberately disallowed by the referee, and this wasn't a refereeing error. Law 12 of the Laws of the Game, as defined by the International Football Association Board, applies: if there's a foul before the handball, play is stopped at the first foul. Therefore, the handball that occurs afterward is no longer considered, unless the referee allows the advantage, which he deemed unnecessary in that situation.
