A defending player (Team A) tries to pass the ball to his/her goalkeeper (Team A) but instead plays the ball to an attacking player (Team B) who is in an offside position. After that, the attacker attempts to play the ball and this action impacts on the goalkeeper. What is the referee’s decision?

Question

Accepted Answer

The referee allows play to continue. The attacker (Team B) is not considered to have gained an advantage as the defender (Team A) deliberately played the ball.
