@patient said:
A player is in an offside position if three conditions are met: first, the player must be on the opposing team's half of the field. Second, the player must be in front of the ball. And third, there must be fewer than two opposing players between him and the opposing goal line, with the goalkeeper counting as an opposing player for these purposes

In your case, the second condition wasn't met. "The player must be in front of the ball", the player receiving the ball was "just" behind the ball.
That is something many people don't know and it is actually something the game got right
