Question Number: 16646

Law 7 - Match Duration 9/11/2007

RE: JV High School

Tom Waypa of Hartland, mi usa asks...

When is the soccer match over ?? We had a situation where the ball was in flight as the clock went to 0:00. As the ball came down it was headed into the goal. The call was no goal because time ran out. Is this correct. When is the match over ??

Thanks.

Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller

In high school soccer it is the correct call. Time is up when it expires on the clock and if the ball is not fully past the goal line between the posts and under the cross bar...then its NO GOAL.

That's High School, and that is correct. The powers that be seem to think it better that way...

Hey, at least Varsity gets AR's this year, not the 3-whistle travesty.
