(Spoiler for day 1, but anyone who cares that much probably has watched already.)

I'm getting caught up on the matches today and just watched day 1, where Hakuoho beat Hoshoryu. Now, Hoshoryu was clearly going out first, but it looks like he jumped into the air at the last second and didn't actually touch the ground first. In fact, to me it looks pretty clear that Hakuoho touched outside of the ring first.

In the screenshot I've attached, Hoshoryu (right) has not touched the ground outside the ring yet, while Hakuoho (left) is leaning on the ground outside the ring.

Video of the match is here: https://youtu.be/ZunDvP-cPts?t=1410, starts 23:30

Is this a situation where Hoshoryu is considered to be out first because he was clearly being pushed out? Or is it supposed to be specifically who touched outside of the ring first, and this was a missed call?
