Hello,
I had a unique incident over this past weekend.
Final of a u12 boys match and yellow scores against red in the last minute of extra time. Yellow players plus most of their substitutes then wildly celebrate on the FOP, but in their own half. Red smartly grabs the ball out of the net and places the ball at the center. Once I realize that Red want to kickoff during the celebration, I blow the whistle. No yellow player hears this. Red boots the ball over the celebrating yellow but it (fortunately) goes out for a yellow GK.
Question: If red scored without touching any yellow players, would I have been correct in awarding a goal?
