Video Analysis 1: Red Bulls trick goal in the MLS
Welcome to the first ever Video Analysis, which is a new weekly series where we look at a video clip of an interesting call from a football match, break it down for you and tell you our opinion on whether the officials got it right.
SITUATION
Match: New York at Chicago
Date: August 26
Score: 2-1 Chicago
Minute: 48'
Setup: Corner kick for New York
Referee: Allen Chapman (United States)
At first glance, it looks like a completely legitimate goal by Ronald Zubar since as you see in the replay Lloyd Sam (#10 in white) clearly touches the ball in play on the corner, allowing Sacha Kljestan to dribble with the ball into the box. Here is the problem: Sam clearly touches the ball twice after Referee Allen Chapman blows the whistle. Therefore, by the FIFA Laws of the Game 17, Sam has committed an infraction by touching the ball twice on a set piece that should be punished with an indirect free kick to Chicago. Noticing this infraction is the responsibility of assistant Anthony Vasoli, who should've informed Chapman of the violation.
Tell us what you think in the comments. Should the goal have stood or not?
Ref Giwa Muiz, Lagos, Nigeria No goal. Reason: there was infringement of the Law 17 when the kicker touches the ball a second time before it has touched another player. The law says that: if the kicker touches the ball a second time before it has touched another, an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team.
Great goal! First touch by first player is considered trifling.
ReplyDeleteNo goal.. the ball is play when the whole of the ball leave the penalty arc...

i think the goal should not have stood because Loyd SAM clearly touches the ball twice well after the whistle from referee allen Chapman.
