You-Call-It #96 Question...Scenario:
Blue is awarded a defensive free kick inside their own penalty area. The ball is placed near the top of the goal area, about four yards from the penalty area line. All Red attackers are positioned outside the penalty area at the moment of the kick.
Blue #4 restarts quickly. The ball is kicked and clearly moves. Immediately, Red #9 sprints in from just outside the penalty area, intercepts the ball, and heads directly toward goal with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Blue #4, realizing the danger, violently shoves Red #9 from behind, stopping the attack. The goalkeeper shouts that Red “came in too early.”
Your decision is?
