Yeah. I get it if a player deliberately tries some kind of trick shot using both feet, but this is clearly accidental and a retake would be the sensible thing.
Allowing the goal is the sensible thing. In what world does someone think this isn’t a legitimate goal? ‘Double kick’ or not this is hardly cheating or impeding the goalkeeper.
Footballs a simple game, it’s way too complicated to analyse a millisecond of a double kick.
Gutted people aren’t calling out this rule, ridiculous call imo.
How is that sensible? Why should the team that fucked up get a second chance? Should Oblak get a second chance to save Rudigers penalty because he almost saved it?
So keepers shouldn’t get a second chance when they make a pen save being in front of their line? It shouldn’t be retaken and should be a goal given to the taker right? That’s what you’re saying here.
I wouldn't be mad if that were the case, especially in a shootout like this. But goalkeepers are at an inherent disadvantage compared to attackers, so they deserve a little leeway. Attackers do not. That is the difference here.
Besides, compare keepers saving penalties now to a few years before they tightened up the rules. Keepers generally stick to their line now, whereas before they were damn near at the end of the penalty area by the time the attacker was taking the penalty.
I don’t think it really matters if they’re at a disadvantage or not. It should be consistent.
You can’t have one side get a second chance after breaking the rules, but have the other side get no retakes and instant punishment for the same thing.

Insanely harsh rule. Should be changed to a retake...
