Question Number: 661

Law 14 - Penalty kick

RE: rep. Under 13

of , canada asks...

On a penalty kick, there is no goal on the rebound unless the ball has been touched by another player.......Can the other player be the keeper. We were awarded a goal today when the kicker put in the ball on the rebound after it was stopped by and touched only by the keeper.

Answer provided by Referee miller

Yes, the keeper is considered to be another player, so a rebound off of her would satisfy the requirements of Law 14.

Answer provided by Referee Stacy Kalstrom

The referee made the correct call. As stated in Law 14, the ball must be touched by another player before the original kicker may play it a second time. In your scenario, the keeper played/touched the ball, making it fair for the original kicker to play it again...Thank you for your question.
