goal kicks
Box-line distribution plays
A goal kick is a method of restarting play in soccer, awarded to the defending team when the ball crosses the goal line after last touching an attacking player without a goal being scored.
The ball is placed in the goal area and kicked back into play, typically by the goalkeeper.
The keeper's goal kick sailed past midfield.
In casual usage, goal kicks often refers to the general act or frequency of these restarts during a match.
