goal kick

Box-area restart kick

A goal kick is a method of restarting play in soccer after the ball crosses the goal line without a goal being scored, having last been touched by the attacking team.

The defending team kicks the ball from inside their goal area back into play.

The goalkeeper took the goal kick and launched it upfield.
