A goal is awarded and the team conceding the goal restarts play with a kick-off as normal. As for the time recorded for the goal, which is not a requirement of the Laws of the Game (which governs soccer worldwide) but is often used by certain leagues and tournaments for statistical purposes, any goal scored from the opening kick-off (0:00) until the end of the 59th second (0:59) is recorded as having been scored in the 1st minute. From 1:00 to 1:59, inclusive, such a goal is recorded as having been scored in the 2nd minute, and so on. There is no rounding down of partial minutes; they are always rounded up.
