It is not possible to score an own-goal directly from a corner kick.

It would have to be a very long kick to do so but, if it did happen, the restart would be a corner kick for the opponents.

yes, he can. for instance, when he tries to catch the ball which is coming from a corner kick, also it is not on target (not going for goal), the keeper accidentally punches the ball into his own goal. so it is counted as an "own goal" for the keeper.

Yes, but this is very unlikely.

In order for a kickoff to be valid, the ball must be placed on the center spot, be kicked, and move in a forward direction (toward the opponent's goal). For this reason, and own-goal can only be scored directly from a kickoff if it is kicked into the air and carried backward by the wind, or is kicked so incredibly hard that it rebounds from the opponent's goalpost or crossbar and flies back into your own goal. Both scenarios would be considered an own-goal from kickoff, as no other player touched the ball except the kicker.

In short, it is technically possible under the Laws of the Game to score an own-goal directly from the kickoff, but you are unlikely to ever see it happen, ever.

If the throwing team throws the ball directly into their opponent's goal, no goal is awarded and play is restarted with a goal kick by the thrower's opponents.
