It's definitely touch left. The referee signals attack right - parry riposte left, touch, although if you slow the clip down it looks as though beat attack left, touch might be a better description of the action. On right's advance with the arm and weapon partially extended, left takes the blade sharply, then steps forward with the weapon arm extending slowly. Right counterattacks out of time as left finishes. Whether you call it a beat attack or a riposte depends if you're convinced right was attacking... but the referee correctly awarded the touch. I have no idea why the fencer on the right complained afterward, as the time was clear.
