The buzzer hadn't rung before she punched him in the face, though, so it's not really her fault. It was the the middle of a fight, and the second punch she made was pretty much an instinctive followup to her previous attack. You're not exactly going to be keeping track of a scoreboard that's hundreds of meters away during an intense fight, and considering how soon after breaking Mercury's aura that other punch was, any judge and spectator would simply look at it and go "it was part of the combo that broke his aura, not done intentionally to hurt him." That line of thinking is reserved for when she punched his knee well after the buzzer sounded.

It's like in real life. If a referee calls a time out but a footballer keeps running for 20 meters or so before finally stopping, he's not going to be penalised for it unless he makes no effort to slow down or stop at all.
