Which is not enough to have control of the ball (even if it were correct, which it isn't) - the 2 things are different. If you use that standard many incomplete passes should be overturned on review.
I think you actually need to be in possession and in control of the ball to have a catch.
In this case the ball clearly moved between his fingertips on his right hand and the palm of his left - he didn't have it for another 1/2 step, which put him out of bounds. In any event that play never should've happened - what a bunch of lucksacks.
If you get caught cheating just get lucky!
