RE: Adult

d of mpumalanga, ermelo SA asks...

during penalty kicks after the game if the penality is taken and its agoel but the assistance official flags was raised saying the goalkeeper moves is the penality a retake or agoal

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

Since the player got the ball in the net despite the goalkeeper's movement, the goal will count. If the kicker had missed, he'd get another chance if the referee accepted the assistant ref's opinion of an infraction having taken place.

If the keeper encroaches before the kick is taken, but the ball goes in the goal, then the goal shall stand. It will only be a retake for a keeper infringement if the ball does not enter the goal.

As such, there would be no reason for the AR to signal an encroachment if the ball goes in the goal, so I can't help but wonder if it was something else he was concerned about.

Hi
I assume a goal was not scored in which case as the goalkeeper has infringed Law 14 the penalty kick is retaken.
If the ball enters the goal then there is no need for a flag and the goal is awarded.
