 Scenario
#6 Blue with the ball dribbling toward White's goal. #15 White attempts a slide tackle which misses the ball but clips #6. Play continues and #2 White also jumps toward #6 in another attempt to slide tackle which also misses. #6 continues and scores. What is the correct decision by the referee?
 Results
1.0% Stop play at first tripping by White #15 - Direct Free Kick.
5.0% Apply two Advantages and after the goal, caution White #2 for Persistent Infringement.

69.0%
Apply two Advantages by calling out, "Advantage, play on," and indicating Advantage with arm motion.
23.0% Apply two Advantages and after the goal, caution White #15 for his late tackle.
 Reason
Apply advantage at both instances of contact by White team by calling out, "Advantage, play on," and indicating your decision with the proper arm signal. Award the goal. Restart with a kick off to the White team. If needed, the Referee can speak with White #15 and/or White #2 about their late challenges.
 Explanation
In both these attempts to tackle, the Referee correctly allows play to continue since Blue #6 continues by the tackler directly toward White's goal with clear possession of the ball.
