In a U-16 boys game, Red player #9 takes a shot on goal which the White team's goalkeeper saves with his feet. Then the goalkeeper dribbles the ball outside the penalty area looking for a teammate to pass the ball to. He sees a Red team player approaching him to challenge for the ball so he dribbles back into his penalty area and picks up the ball.What should the referee do? What is the restart?.
Answer: In this case, because the red team's goalkeeper originally saved the shot with his feet, he is allowed to handle the ball. Since the goalkeeper did not previously touch the ball with his hands, he did not commit any infringement when he picked up the ball inside his penalty area.
An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, touches the ball again with his hands after he/she has released it from his/her possession and before
it has touched another player.
Referee stops play and signals a direct free kick for the red team player if outside of the goalkeepers penalty area. If inside the GK penalty area, then an in-direct free kick is given.
ReplyDeleteGoalkeeper violated Law 12, "Second Touch by a GoalKeeper". The referee blows the whistle to stop play and awards an indirect free kick against the keeper's team from the spot where the keeper picked up the ball. Giovanni
ReplyDeleteNo foul. Ball was at keeper's feet the entire time, starting with the initial foot save. As such, he is just like a normal player outside the penalty area.
ReplyDeletePlay On! Goalkeeper CAN pick up the ball with his hands inside the penalty area. He CANNOT pick it up if it was kick back it him from a team mate.
