RE: Competitive Adult

Ward Hagar of Oakland, California USA asks...

What is the correct restart for a throw-in that goes untouched into the opposing teams goal? In the the players own goal?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Ward
A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw in. If it is an attacking throw in the restart is a goal kick. If it is thrown by a defender into his own goal the restart is a corner kick.
