Question

. When a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal - scoring opportunity by a deliberately handling the ball, what is the correct restart and disciplinary action?

Answer 1

Answer: Direct free kick

Penalty kick

Red card.

Explanation: A direct Free kick may be awarded if the action happened outside the Penalty area (18) of the opposing team while a penalty kick will be awarded to the opposing team if the action happened within the penalty area or box of the opposing team.

If the player is a second offender that has been warned before, he may be given a red card and that means he should leave the Pitch. He might miss two matches or so depending on the tournament being played.
