Foul refers to direct free kick offences. Any defender committing a foul against an attacker in the area results in a penalty kick.

But, an attacker committing a foul against a defender would result in a direct free kick.

What is three types of kicks and when do they happen?

Three types of kicks in soccer are penalty kick, free kick, and corner kick. A penalty kick happens when a foul is committed in the penalty area, a free kick is awarded after a foul outside the penalty area, and a corner kick is given when the defending team plays the ball over their own goal line.


Where does a free kick take place?

A free kick takes place from the spot where the foul occurred. If the foul happened outside the penalty area, the free kick is taken from that spot. If the foul occurred inside the penalty area, the free kick is taken from the nearest point on the penalty area line.

A foul does not have to be near the ball. A foul must occur (1) by a player, (2) on the field of play, (3) against an opponent, and (4) while the ball is in play. If the foul you describe is by a defender, against an attacker, in the defender's penalty area then play is stopped and a penalty kick awarded. Depending on the severity, it could also be misconduct.
