For things to be clear, the referee will have to degrade ostensibly the last five seconds, finger by finger, hand in the air.
What if the goalkeeper goes beyond this time? A corner will be given to the opponent. If this happens, it will be warned verbally … and will receive a yellow if it does it a third time. And a fourth? Back to the locker room.
Double contact on penalty: No more imbroglio alvarez
The phase had made a lot of talk, in March, when Real had eliminated Atlético from the Champions League on penalties. Julian Alvarez (Atlético) had seen his shot being canceled because he had touched the ball twice, he having touched his support foot.
A rare case, but which was not a first. FIFA has clarified this type of situation: “From now on, if the shooter accidentally touches the ball with his two feet or the support leg and that he marks, the penalty will have to be fired again “explains Jonathan Lardot. If the penalty is not marked, on the other hand, – or if the shooter does it voluntarily – it is an indirect free kick for the opponent.
Balloon affected by the referee
The referee is sometimes located in the wrong place at the wrong time and touches the ball on a pass or a shot. From now on, when this happens in the rectangle, the ball is automatically rendered to the guardian of the defending team.
Outside the rectangle, on the other hand, it will be important to see who was going to win this ball. If the answer to this question is clear, the leather is given to the team that would recover it. If this is not the case, he goes to the team of the last player who had touched him, as before.

Balloon stopped by a replacement: finished the penalty
It can happen exceptionally that a replacement that heats up wanting to quickly relaunch the ball to a teammate intercepts it … even before it was completely out. If this happened in the rectangle – what had happened in the Bundesliga this season – the team was sanctioned with a penalty! It’s over: there will be indirect free kick. The yellow card that was to accompany the whistle is no longer systematic, but only falls if there is an impact on the game.
On the other hand, in the event that it was not clear that the ball was going out, as when Sébastien Pocognoli had stretched the leg along the line in Westerlo at the start of the past season, the sanction is clear: exclusion.
