Law 15 - Throw In 12/6/2012

RE: Professional

Isaac of Umuahia, Abia Nigeria asks...

When a player takes a throw in and throws it into the opponents net without the ball touching anyone what is the decision

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Isaac
A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw in. As the ball has crossed the goal line, last touched by an attacking player, the restart is a goal kick.
