Question Number: 23776

Law 10 - Method of Scoring 8/15/2010

RE: County Combination Adult

daniel bruns of warrington, Cheshire England asks...

Can a team score direct from a restart? Without the need to pass to team member?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Daniel
A team can score on its opponents directly from any kicked restart with the exception of an indirect free kick. So if it's a direct free kick, goal kick, kick off or corner kick a goal can be scored directly without the need to pass to a team mate.
A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw in restart.
A team cannot score an own goal directly against itself from any restart.

Answer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney

That depends entirely on which restart is used.

Indirect free kick - no direct score is possible unless the ball touches any other player on the way into the net.

Direct free kick - can score directly on the other team

Throw-in - cannot score directly (see IDFK)

Corner kick - can score directly

Dropped ball - can score directly assuming ball was in play (hit the ground first)

Kick-off - can score directly on the other team
