While taking a goal kick, a goalkeeper slips on the grass. After the ball is in play, they kick the ball a second time (before it has touched any other player) to deny an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO). The ball goes to an opposing player who scores a goal. What is the correct decision?

THE DECISION

The referee plays the advantage following a DOGSO offence and, as a result, the attacking team scores, so the goal is awarded, and the goalkeeper is not cautioned or sent off.
