Best Answer

A player is in an offside position if they are closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second lastopponent. The SA goal keeper was the second last defender and Vela was behind him at the moment of the header by his team-mate. This is an offside offense.

Players often forget that (ignoring the ball) you must have two defenders in front of you to be onside. They get accustomed to the fact that the goal keeper is always the last one. Not in this case.
