Question Number: 28413Law 10 - Method of Scoring 5/11/2014RE: amateur Adult gaara of phoenix, mauritius asks...is a goal counted if a kick in is deviated by the goal keeper into the net? the player who did the kick in was passing the ball but the goal keeper scored an own goal Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Not sure what you mean by a kick in. There would be no reason why a goal would not be allowed here if the ball was in play. A team can not score directly on itself from any kicked restart or a throw in. However the touch by the goalkeeper changes that as it is not then directly.
