Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson

AS my colleague states it is a GOAL kick, the ball is last touched by an opponent and has left the field over the goal line, however, so much as a finger tip brush by the keeper or any player where the ball has a 2nd contact moment and a legitamate goal is scored.

Cheers

A goal kick...

NOT a goal. Meaning that the scorekeeper will not add +1 to the number in the score column.

That would be a goal kick. The Law clearly states a goal may not be scored directly on a throw-in.
