Question
3 of 10

An attacking player is inside the opponent`s goal as a team-mate scores. What decision should the referee make if the player distracts the goalkeeper? At the team-mate’s relevant touch, the attacker is in an offside position and clearly obstructs the goalkeeper’s vision; there is no separate misconduct.

(a) The referee awards the goal because the player who distracts the opponent is outside the field of play.

(b) The referee disallows the goal and cautions the player for unsporting behaviour for leaving the field of play without the referee`s permission.

(c) Disallow the goal for interfering with an opponent from an offside position and award an indirect free kick at the offence. Do not caution solely for the offside offence.

(d) The referee awards the goal because the player was outside the field of play but cautions the player for unsporting behaviour.
