In football, a kick is awarded to the opposition player when a player has committed a foul. What is the kick called?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Free kick.
In football, when a player commits a foul, the opposition is awarded a free kick. If the foul occurs outside the penalty area, it's called a direct free kick. This allows the opposing player to attempt a goal directly from the spot without any other player touching the ball first. If the foul happens inside the penalty area, a penalty kick is awarded, allowing the attacking player to take a shot from 12 yards directly against the goalkeeper.
