There's nothing new in the report, however it explains "half walkround" bit. F/O checked only left side lading gear, flaps and engine. This was obvious if they had left gear on grass. Ironicaly, these parts were undamaged.

The most valuable part IMO is pilot's testimony:
“100ft. above minima, I saw the approach and THR green lights and called “Landing”. At 100ft. agl, I disconnected the A/P and suddenly in front of me I saw only darkness. On my left I then saw the RWY edge white lights, apparently thinking that those were CL lights. The F/O called “fly right”, and I started doing that, but it was too late. The aircraft touched down. I thought it was a firm to hard landing. After touchdown I knew I landed to the left of the CL but I didn’t know how far left. We were both shocked”.
