Rebuilding Confidence?

Afternoon all, I have a question that hopefully someone/everyone could help me with. My son plays u8 level and was taking part in a match on Saturday. The striker was 1v1 with him after a through ball. He shouts keepers when sliding in to win the ball to which the opposition manager shouts at the ref (Who was also a youth) that it was a penalty. No explanation to my son nor the managers on why he has decided this. Because of this I noticed in training this week he has lost all his confidence in coming out and claiming the ball. What could I do, say that could rebuild it as he is one hell of a keeper and quick off his line! On a positive point he loves his new gloves! Thanks All.
