Question

Differentiate between goal kick and corner kick.

Answer 1

1. A goal kick is awarded when a football crosses the goal line outside the goal posts after being kicked by any attacking team player. The defending side kicks the ball from their goal area when a goal kick is awarded. All attacking players must be outside the defending team's penalty area.
2. A corner kick is awarded when the football crosses the goal line outside the goal posts after being kicked by a member of the defending team. When a corner kick is given, the ball is kicked from the nearest comer flag post. All defending team players must be at least 10 yards away from the concerned corner flag post.
