I believe you are describing "Advantage." If a player is fouled yet his team has a good tactical situation (read: "scoring chance"), then the referee has the option to delay calling or even ignore the foul entirely. If the attacking team loses their advantage quickly (2 to 3 seconds), then the referee will stop the game and award the direct free kick. If they continue to press their advantage then the referee will drop the issue entirely, although with a few, choice words to the defender who committed the foul (likely followed with a caution at the next stoppage).

The purpose of this is to disarm the tactical fouls that defenders make in order to stop a dangerous attack. If an attacker chooses to play through it, it is unfair to stop the attack and let the defense reset.
