Question Number: 23844Law 14 - Penalty kick 8/28/2010RE: Competitive, triple-A Under 14 Jonathan Wagner of San Diego, CA USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 23683 In a penalty kick, if there is offensive encroachment, and the kicker scores directly, then the kick is retaken. However, what if there is offensive encroachment, and the kicker does NOT score directly, but DOES score on a rebound? In that case should the kick be retaken since the kicker scored on the rebound, or should the defending team be awarded an indirect kick? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol Law 14 says for cases of infringements by the kicking team, 'if the ball does not enter the goal, the referee stops play and the match is restarted with an indirect free kick to the defending team from the place where the infringement occurred'
Since the ball did not go in right away, play would be stopped. Not going in means either the goalkeeper blocked it, or the ball hit the goal - in other words, the kicker missed. He should not get another chance because either he or a teammate infringed the Laws!
If the ball goes back out into play and is recovered by the defense, the referee might view the infraction as having been trifling, with little or no effect on play. But if the ball rebounds to any of the attacking team, it could be that the encroachment allowed that team member to get to the ball first, and it would not be a trifling offense.
The indirect free kick outbound was added not that many years ago. The reason for it was that in some cases the kicking team would have gotten a restart - for instance, when the goalkeeper blocked the ball over the bar for a corner kick.

When the attacking team infringe the Laws of the Game at a penalty kick, the referee allows the kick to be taken and if a goal is not scored directly the referee stops play and awards an indirect free kick to the defence from where the infringement took place. If a goal is scored in the same scenario the penalty kick is retaken.
