15.7 Free Kicks - Deliberate rushed behind
A free kick shall be awarded against a player from the defending team who intentionally kicks, handballs or forces the football over the attacking teams goal line or behind line or onto one of the attacking teams goal posts. In assessing whether a free kick should be awarded under this law, the field umpire shall give the benefit of the doubt to the defender
