The point is Itachi does not need eye contact for most of his genjutsu, for example when he got Oro with it at age 13 and Oro couldn't break it. Minato has NO evidence of being 5th tier in Genjutsu like Oro is, let alone be able to break a genjutsu of Itachi's calibre. Itachi only needs ONE Genjutsu to connect and bam the fight is over.
