All he had to do was blow the whistle. Did Antony Gautier never have it whispered in his ear by a senior referee just how to deal with those sudden and unexpected twists. I know I did, and it's helped me out a few times.
It was a simple dropped ball, the likes of which happen once a game in every match. The referee had a brief discussion with Shakhtar Donetsk's Willian, who kicked the ball gently back towards the Nordsjaelland goalkeeper to restart play with a goal kick.
But Brazilian Luiz Adriano had other ideas. He ran after the ball while the Danes stood there and popped the ball into the net to equalise after the Ukrainians had surprisingly gone behind. Adriano ran back to his own half, the picture of innocence. Don't be fooled by that. He's been around the footballing world for many years, long enough to know the ropes exactly when this sort of situation arises.
His behaviour was despicable and he brought disgrace on the Shakhtar shirt, but I doubt if they care too much.
The shoddy behaviour was compounded when the Ukrainians appeared to offer the Danes a "free" goal to negate the injustice, and then prevented it as a Danish player strolled through the Ukrainian defence. Adriano was clearly furious that the Danes were to be allowed to score and tried his best to stop it.
EASILY AVOIDABLE
It could all so easily have been avoided. All M. Gautier had to do was blow his whistle when he realised what was happening. He would have seen Adriano grab the ball and start running towards goal. Stop play! Invent a foul or problem, Say the dropped ball wasn't taken properly. The ball didn't bounce.
Anything. Anything at all rather than let a goal be scored that shouldn't be. If you can't think of an immediate reason, just blow the whistle anyway. Something will come to you as you're dealing with the chaos. But an unfair goal will have been avoided.
A defender once kicked a ball to clear it, but it bounced off my bum straight into the path of an attacker who had an open goal. I blew the whistle and shouted, "handball.". Cue some scratched heads, but no-one minded. An injustice had been avoided.
I've also seen a referee blow when a dropped ball was kicked rather too firmly back towards what looked like an open goal. He blew while the ball was in the air and called play back for the dropped ball to be carried out "properly."
What I'm saying here is that a little bit of common sense could have saved the game from this ugly incident, an incident which overshadowed Shakhtar's excellent performance.

You don't need to invent anything. It's a yellow card and indirect free-kick when it becomes clear that Adriano has nefarious intent. Unsporting behaviour/disrespect to the game - see Law 12.
Beds Ref
Don't think I agree Beds Ref. As the ref cannot formally rule on a dropped ball, he can't formally book someone for breaking no law. I agree completely with your sentiment though.
Suggest you read law 12 and the interpretation guide. It's all there. I wouldn't have hesitated to blow the whistle when it became clear that Adriano was looking to score. Yellow card for unsporting behaviour. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to caution for removing shirt, diving etc.

Many customers have stated that once they have ordered these counterfeit, fake, imitation UGG's, they might arrive inside a plain, brown box that looked battered.

And reproductions may perhaps appearance just like terrific.
