What would people do here if they rebound goes in? Award goal? Cant see anything in the laws that specifies this situation apart from the goal needs to be secure and not interfere with the goalkeeper.
Dropped ball for me “as soon as the crossbar becomes displaced” based on LotG.
In the OP the crossbar moves. I think smart refereeing is to stop the game immediately.
(Futsal LotG is mostly identical to Footbal LotG but has a special section on this: defending team accidentally moves the goal, goal can still be awarded.)
This is so unusual in football. It’s a one in a million. No one wants to see a match decided here. The LotG gives you a few options: “crossbar displaced” is one. You could also go with “spirit of the game” and consider that the LotG cannot cover every scenario exactly.Interesting!
The crossbar definitely does not at any point become displaced - I agree with stopping the game, but you can't use that as the reason! (Although if a goal had been scored immediately and I'm sure that the keeper wouldn't have had a chance of preventing it, I'd give the goal)Dropped ball for me “as soon as the crossbar becomes displaced” based on LotG.

I'm not sure how I would word it, but if the ball doesn't cross the line, and something other than a player interferes with play the only outcome is a dropped ball then you couldn't award a goal and would have to do a dropped ball.Nets may be attached to the goals and the ground behind the goal; they must be properly supported and must not interfere with the goalkeeper.
Above is the closest thing in law I can find in relation to this. Although I’d argue the keeper interfered with the nets, rather than the other way around.
Agree with @RustyRef that this is one to check player reaction on and most realistic chance keeper would have had to save it had this not happened (although he still saves it in this example!)
Might be one for @JamesL to query with his chums at IFAB
Not true. The team who scored would all become your best friendI'm not sure how I would word it, but if the ball doesn't cross the line, and something other than a player interferes with play the only outcome is a dropped ball then you couldn't award a goal and would have to do a dropped ball.
In this example the you can only really stop it after the save (what a save btw). You wont win any friends if the keeper is trapped in the net and a goal is scored and allowed.
