I would assume that only a particular recording of it could be, and since you recorded this it would make you the owner.

No - he recorded a broadcast as seen on a screen, i.e. made a vastly degraded copy of a specific live video stream.

Oh, I thought he had made a live recording of the game. My mistake.

No, brazzy is correct - sorry if that wasn't clear. The game was in South Africa, but I filmed a live screening of it in Mexico - a shot of the screen & stage as a goal was scored, then pan to the (Mexican) crowd reaction. I wasn't complaining it was blocked, I was (hopefully) giving colour to the original assertion & conveying how quickly the obscured 'owner' was identified. I understood this was as a result of a 'safe harbour' ruling, but I guess dmoney's point about YouTube's 'partners' also played a part. [edit] corrected attribution.
