The ball touches the hand of an attacking player. He/she does not gain control of the ball, however, his/her team-mate immediately gains possession of the ball and scores a goal. What is the referee’s decision?

Question

Accepted Answer

Accidental handball by a team-mate of the scorer is not a handball offence (unless it was deliberate or the hand/arm has made the body unnaturally bigger) so the referee will award the goal.
