Yes. The referee will award the goal.
If the referee believes it was done deliberately the defender would be cautioned for unsporting behavior. A send off would not be warranted in this case because no goal-scoring opportunity was denied.
Acceleration is a key aspect of soccer. Players need speed to get past defenders and have a shot on goal.
The defenders stand in front of the goalie and goal, and keep the ball away from the goal. Although, if the goalie takes the ball and starts running down field and loses it, the defender will step in the goal in order to not allow a long shot goal.

There is no NHL definition or rule of a shot, therefore, a shot on goal is up to the discretion of the official scorer. But in general terms, a shot on goal is a shot that is taken with the intent to score that either goes into the net for a goal or the goalie saves from going into the net for a goal. A shot that hits the goalpost or crossbar, or a shot the goalie stops that would not have gone in the net is not considered a shot on goal. A clearing pass that goes through everybody and winds up being stopped by the goalie is not considered a shot on goal because there was not intent by the 'shooter' to score a goal. Similarly an errant pass from a teammate that is stopped by the goalie is not considered a shot on goal.

They help defend the goal, by trying to stop the other team scoring. The goalkeeper stays in the goal and the defenders are further out, trying to stop the other team getting close to the goal or getting a shot at goal. There are usually four defenders, though it is up to the manager as to how many they have. That will depend on their tactics. So they might have an extra defender or they could decide to have one less and move another player towards the middle or front of the pitch.
