Question...

You are in the middle of a hotly contested game. A player takes a shot and there is a deliberate handling foul committed inside the penalty area by the defender. As you are bringing the whistle to your mouth, the ball falls to the feet of an attacker who buries a shot into the goal.

You check your AR and see that he has the flag up! After a discussion with the AR, you determine that the player who SCORED the goal was in an offside position at the time of the initial shot.

What is the restart?

Our Hint

- Advantage in the Penalty Area - Sequence

Our Answer...

The correct restart should be a Penalty Kick!

There is no advantage in the area other than a goal. Since the deliberate handling occurred prior to the offside infraction, the defender should be penalized.

That was our Question YOUR Answer is...
