THE METHOD OF SCORING IN FUTSAL

Goal scored

A goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between
the goalposts and under the crossbar, provided that no infringement of the Futsal
Laws of the Game has been committed previously by the team scoring the goal.

A goal is disallowed if the goalkeeper of the attacking team throws or hits the
ball intentionally with his hand or arm from inside his own penalty area and
is the last player to touch or play the ball. The match is restarted with a goal
clearance to the opposing team.

If, after a goal is scored, the referees realise, before play restarts, that the
team that scored the goal is playing with an extra player or has carried out a
substitution incorrectly, they must disallow the goal and restart play with an
indirect free kick to be taken by the opponents of the offending player from
any point inside the penalty area. If the kick-off has already been taken, they
take the measures against the offending player provided for in Law 3, but the
goal is allowed. The referees report the fact to the appropriate authorities. If
the goal was scored by the other team, they must allow it.

Winning team

The team scoring the greater number of goals during a match is the winner.
If both teams score an equal number of goals, or if no goals are scored, the
match is drawn.

Competition rules

When the competition rules require there to be a winning team after a match
or home-and-away tie, the following are the only permitted procedures for
determining the winning team:
• away goals rule
• extra time
• kicks from the penalty mark
These procedures are described in the section of this publication entitled
“Procedures to Determine the Winner of a Match or Home-and-Away”.
