Zane Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Zane
A team cannot score directly against itself from any restart. As the ball is in play when it left the penalty area the restart is a corner kick

View Referee Joe McHugh profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino Corner kick as the ball never touched another player and you cannot score on yourself directly from any restart. This would also be a corner kick if the ball hit the referee as the referee is part of the field.

The ball was in play when it leaves the penalty area in flight (even though it came back). The ball then crossed the goal line, last touched by a defender. An own goal may not be scored directly from a goal kick.
