indirect kick

Untouched goal invalid

An indirect kick is a type of free kick in soccer where the ball must touch another player before a goal can be scored.

The referee signals it by raising one arm overhead.

Indirect kicks are awarded for lesser infractions like obstruction or dangerous play, as opposed to direct kicks given for more serious fouls like tripping or handball.
