The ball and the shoulder area ABOVE the armpit of an attacker make contact and the ball goes into goal. What is the decision by the referee?

Respuesta :

The referee should award a goal to the attacker since the part of the body in contact with the ball is not hand and it cannot be considered as handball.

Goal rules for soccer

There are several rules considered during a game of soccer before the referee will award goal.

Some of the rules include;

  • The ball must cross the goal line
  • The attacker must be on side
  • The attacker must play the ball with any part of the body EXCEPT the hand.

The shoulder area ABOVE the armpit is not part of the hand, thus the referee should award a goal to the attacker since the part of the body in contact with the ball is not hand and it cannot be considered as handball.
