       GOAL KICK
       A goal kick is awarded when the whole of the ball passes over
       the goal line, on the ground or in the air,
       having last touched a player of the attacking team, and a goal
       is not scored.
       A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against
       the opposing team;
       if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is
       awarded to the opponents.
       1. Procedure
       The ball must be stationary and is kicked from any point within
       the goal area by a player of the defending team
       The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves
       Opponents must be outside the penalty area until the ball is in
       play
       2. Offences and sanctions
       If, after the ball is in play, the kicker touches the ball again
       before it has touched another player an indirect free kick is
       awarded;
       if the kicker commits a handball offence:
       a direct free kick is awarded
       a penalty kick is awarded if the offence occurred inside the
       kicker’s penalty area unless
       the kicker was the goalkeeper in which case an indirect free
       kick is awarded
       If, when a goal kick is taken, any opponents are inside the
       penalty area
       because they did not have time to leave, the referee allows play
       to continue
       If an opponent who is in the penalty area when the goal kick is
       taken,
       or enters the penalty area before the ball is in play, touches
       or challenges
       for the ball before it is in play, the goal kick is retaken.
       If a player enters the penalty area before the ball is in play
       and fouls or is fouled by an opponent,
       the goal kick is retaken and the offender may be cautioned or
       sent off depending on the offence.
       For any other offence the kick is retaken.
