Passback

We have had some confusion so let's make it clear. 

- A GK inside their own penalty area handles the ball that was deliberately kicked to them by their own teammate (so-called "passback") and denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity, denies an obvious goal, or stops a promising attack. In this case, a card is not issued.

- A GK inside their own penalty area plays the ball for the second time after a restart (so-called "double touch") and denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity, denies an obvious goal, or stops a promising attack. In this case, a card is issued.

The video below is slightly different. In this case, the GK handled the ball that was deliberately kicked to him outside his penalty area. Therefore, the referee's decision to issue a red card for DOGSO was correct.
