Question Number: 19070Law 14 - Penalty kick 5/12/2008RE: Rec Under 16 Drew of Lexington, SC USA asks...We were in penalty kicks after extra time, and I was standing in for the last penalty. The shot came and I deflected it, it hit the left post and bounced away (never touched a line) but suddenly without anyone else touching it, it spun back in. Goal or no goal? Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino Goal. The kick isn't over until the ball has gone out of play or completely stopped all movement.

View Referee Keith Contarino profileAnswer provided by Referee Gary Voshol I assume you were the goalkeeper. If the ball deflected off any other player, the attempt would be over with no goal scored. But the Laws tell us that the ball may bounce off goalkeeper, goalpost and/or crossbar before entering the goal, and it is valid.

When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play, or time has been extended at half-time or full time to allow a penalty kick to be taken or retaken, a goal is awarded if, before passing between the goalposts and under the crossbar:
the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/or the crossbar, and/or the goalkeeper.
Regards,
