Hi,
So I'm still in my first season really. Had an incident last week and wanted a bit of advice please.
Attacking player went in for a over the top cross and fouled the defender, just a foul nothing serious. I blow for a foul. The attacker is on the floor and getting up, he's on his knees just outside the penaly area. The defender a little quicker gets up and decides to punt it up the field. Now he plays the ball from about 3m from the attacker on his knees and he's pretty much straight on. He hits the attacker on the side of the head with the ball. Now there was no malice in the foul and I don't believe there was any malice in the punt up the field from the defender.
What should I have done because I believe I got it wrong, I checked the attacker was OK and restarted play with the defender kicking out.
Thanks for any help.
