Minato has better reaction speed than Ay. If he wasn't fast enough to react to A's attacks and dodge them by using teleportation, then no point in having FTG even if it is instant. A would have punched through his skull if he wasn't even fast enough to use FTG before that, but he did.

Minato's superior reaction speed allows him to gain the upper hand against A. Because he just simply reacts to A's speed and teleports before A could punch him. Of course, he is slower than A in other aspects. There's nothing A can do here because his reaction speed surpasses A's movement speed or everything else related to speed, and FTG is a thought-based technique. Minato just reacts and thinks and he will be disappeared instant from A's sight before he could punch him.
