A forward is in an onside position at the moment when their team-mate takes a shot and then in an offside position when the goalkeeper saves the shot. After that, the ball goes to the forward who scores a goal. What is the correct decision?

Question

Accepted Answer

The referee awards the goal. There is no offence because a player’s position for offside is determined at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate (not an opponent).
