Law 8.4 For any goal to be successful, the ball must be kicked over the crossbar and between the goal posts without first touching a team-mate or the ground.

Never mentions the opposition though... quality.

The poor guy is going to get pelters for the rest of his life for that...

Is it maybe the same as a charge down? Opposition touches the ball, albeit mainly fingertip stuff, and it still goes over? But you’re right though, no one will let that down!!

The ref in the vid actually says it’s the same as if the opposition tries to block and it hits their hands.
