What's the logic here?
- the referee must disallow the goal if the extra person was:
- a player, substitute, substituted player, sent off player or team official of the team that scored the goal; play is restarted with a direct free kick from the position of the extra person
- an outside agent who interfered with play unless a goal results as outlined above in ‘extra persons on the field of play’; play is restarted with a dropped ball
Play is restarted with a goal kick, corner kick or dropped ball.
