I think you've hit the nail on the head. They simply don't have enough refs, so they are fast-tracking some through. Given the lack of help from the assistant referees*, I wonder how experienced they were? It the ref was so inexperienced, he really needed two good assistants. The off-side that wasn't and the second penalty could both have gone a different way if he had good support.
