Question

during a penalty kick, the goalkeeper commits an offense that does not impact the attacker and the kick is missed. the ball leaves the field over with goal line without the ball touching the goalkeeper. what decision should the referee make?

award a goal

allow the penalty kick to be retaken

awards a goal kick

none of the above

Explanation:

In soccer (football) rules, when a goalkeeper commits an offense during a penalty kick that doesn't impact the attacker, and the kick is missed (ball leaves over the goal line without touching the keeper), the penalty is retaken. Awarding a goal is incorrect as the kick was missed. A goal kick is not applicable here. So the correct decision is to allow the penalty kick to be retaken.

Answer:

B. Allow the penalty kick to be retaken
