A goal can be scored from anywhere on the pitch, even an opposing team's goal kick can count as a goal if it goes in. There are a few scenarios where a goal cannot be allowed - if a ball goes in from a throw-in without touching a player it cannot stand as a goal. If a goal is scored from an indirect free kick without being taken as such, it does not count. To be counted as a goal, the entire ball needs to cross the goal line, in between the two posts and underneath the crossbar.


When the whole ball crosses over the goal line and between the goal post?

If it does so above the crossbar and the last player to touch it was an attacker, then it's a goal kick. If it does so above the crossbar and the last player to touch it was a defender, then it's a corner kick. If it does so below the crossbar and it came directly from the defender's goal kick, corner kick, kickoff, or throw-in, it will be no-goal and a corner kick for the attackers If it does so below the crossbar and none of the above apply, a goal should be awarded and the restart is a kick-off for the defenders.
