Had this come up in discussion and we never got to an answer. What’s the views / ruling on here?
I’ll stress that I don’t know the answer.
I think the goal stands and it’s just an unfortunate quirk of the game.
Player A (red team) is booked earlier in the game.
Later on in the game, Player B (blue team) is running through and player A wipes him out for a clear second yellow.
However his teammate runs onto the ball, therefore the ref plays advantage. Said teammate has a shot at goal which the keeper catches. So the ball remains in play.
Goalkeeper kicks it out, player A controls it and then scores.
So - if you’ve followed it - a player who should have been sent off ends up scoring a goal and (presumably) being sent off after as the ball is now dead.
Is that the correct ruling?
