Penalty Kick Without Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity

Aug. 9, 2010

When faced with a challenge in the Penalty Area, the Referee must make a decision regarding not only foul or no-foul, but whether misconduct has occurred. If a foul has been committed by a defender within the Penalty Area, the Referee must often additionally decide whether the foul denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO-F) warranting the player to be sent off.
